Oceanography
Comparison's a game that always
Ends in tears or heavy hearts or wasted years
Whatever kills me first
And all the best parts of all the best things
Is all I'd ever want to be
Oh mirrors and the skyscrapers they build
Towering men to weigh my worth against
While I try to
Hold my breath underwater
Like the great oceanographers
Hold my breath underwater
And pray it's not all wasted efforts
And I envy you the things that scare you
Half to death a job with no excitement left
Whatever kills you first
And I'll bet your broken heart you saw it
Coming for us just as I did
Conversations and the doubts they build
Hold my breath underwater
Like the great oceanographers
Hold my breath underwater
And pray it's not all wasted efforts
The chorus where we scream the title half a dozen times
I'm tired of this, I'm tired of this, I'm tiring of this
I'm tired of this, I'm tired of this, I'm tiring of this
I am sick of holding
My breath underwater
Like the great oceanographers
Hold my breath underwater
And pray it's not all wasted efforts
Hold my breath underwater
Like the great oceanographers
The ending where we try to work out where to stop
Ends in tears or heavy hearts or wasted years
Whatever kills me first
And all the best parts of all the best things
Is all I'd ever want to be
Oh mirrors and the skyscrapers they build
Towering men to weigh my worth against
While I try to
Hold my breath underwater
Like the great oceanographers
Hold my breath underwater
And pray it's not all wasted efforts
And I envy you the things that scare you
Half to death a job with no excitement left
Whatever kills you first
And I'll bet your broken heart you saw it
Coming for us just as I did
Conversations and the doubts they build
Hold my breath underwater
Like the great oceanographers
Hold my breath underwater
And pray it's not all wasted efforts
The chorus where we scream the title half a dozen times
I'm tired of this, I'm tired of this, I'm tiring of this
I'm tired of this, I'm tired of this, I'm tiring of this
I am sick of holding
My breath underwater
Like the great oceanographers
Hold my breath underwater
And pray it's not all wasted efforts
Hold my breath underwater
Like the great oceanographers
The ending where we try to work out where to stop
