I Crush Everything Lyrics - Singles - Jonathan Coulton

I lie below, you float above 

In the pretty white ships that I've been dreaming of 

And I'd like to swim beside you 

Getting dizzy in your wake 

Getting close enough to touch you 

Getting brave enough to take you into my arms 

And bring you down to be with me 

But I can't do that thing anymore 

I can't be the thing I was before 

Maybe I am better off alone 

Because I crush everything 

And I crush everything 

And I crush everything 

My body's strong, but my will is weak 

I got pretty nice arms, but I hate my beak 

And the dolphins are all phonies 

They seem nice enough at first 

They pretend to be your friends 

Until they see you at your worst and then they leave you 

Without a word they swim away 

So I can't do that thing anymore 

I can't be the thing I was before 

Maybe I am better off alone 

Because I crush everything 

And I crush everything 

And I crush everything 

And everything I want I take 

And everything I love I break 

And every night I lie awake 

Did the stars come out? Did the world spin round? 

Does it matter that much when you're ten miles down? 

And in the light that filters down 

Into my giant yellow eye 

I can see the sails unfolding 

Stretching white against the sky and I forgive them 

I forgive and I let go 

Cause I can't do that thing anymore 

I can't be the thing I was before 

Maybe I am better off alone 

Because I crush everything 

And I crush everything 

And I crush everything 

And I crush everything 

And I crush everything 

And I crush everything 

I lie below, you float above 

In the pretty white ships that I am dreaming of
