Salt Water Swedish Fish

Folder: 
Romanticism

can't this be the last song

that is dedicated on

potential, desecrated

once populated-decimated



its such a lonely life

such sugar hearts have desolved in the air

ancient apples in their hands



salt water swedish fishes

can't sugar coat my sadness

and all the old candy

is covered in a thick fuzz



who knew we had a shelf life

who knew your hearts' carbon dated

i knew we'd deteriorate

if you left me hanging on the wall

(unpredictably predictable)



your swinging in my head

but that swing hasnt been oiled in so long

and its me that kept it warm



salt water swedish fishes

can't sugar coat my sadness

and all the old candy

is covered in a thick fuzz



salt water swedish fishes

can't sugar coat my sadness

and all the old candy

is covered in a thick fuzz



it makes me feel sick to think of it

have to find the way out of this

the torch gets passed to one seemed bliss

who turns and runs, so who is next



listen please..



we know why its in my head

you won't say we're carbon dated

i know we'll deteriorate

if you leave me hanging on the wall

(unpredictably predictable)



your swinging in my head

please keep that swing as it is oiled for so long

and it'll be you keeping me warm



salt water swedish fishes

can't sugar coat my sadness

and all the old candy

is covered in a thick fuzz



who knew we had a shelf life

who knew your hearts' carbon dated

i knew we'd deteriorate

if you left me hanging on the wall

(unpredictably predictable)



your swinging in my head

but that swing hasnt been oiled in so long

and its me that kept it warm

and its me that kept it warm

looking out in the evening

reaching into my pocket reflecting

and all that old candy

is covered in a thick fuzz
