Rather Be a Fish Lyrics by Jon Fuller

Rather Be a Fish

2010

[Verse]
I get it
He meant the world to you
And nothing can make you forget that fact
Or get you back on track
I get it
You're all alone and you are so afraid of losing what you had
My friend you’ve got it bad
I get it
Your porridge eaten up your chair just broke
But no one's in your bed
At least that's what you said
I get it
Your trail of crumbs is gone
The woods are dark
There’s no house up ahead, even one of gingerbread

[Pre-Chorus]
And while we're on the subject of fantastic metamorphoses
If Mr. Limpet's wish wеre mine maybe I'd bе less ill at ease

[Chorus]
I think I'd rather be a fish
'Cause then I wouldn't have to hear you bitch and moan all day
About the one that got away
I think I'd rather spend my time among the currents
So I couldn’t see you whine and pout
Only god knows what about

[Verse]
I don’t get it
How you replay all these scenarios like he'll come back again
Fast forward round the bend
I don’t get it
A movie of your life and all you do is skip to the same scene
That nightmare you had dreamed

[Pre-Chorus]
Your tears are made of acid rain, they sting you falling from your eye
Why don't you use that energy
Don't you have bigger things to fry?

[Chorus]
I think I'd rather be a fish
’Cause then I wouldn't have to hear you bitch and moan all day
About the one that got away
I think I'd rather spend my time among the currents
So I couldn't see you whine and pout
Only god knows what about

[Bridge]
Don't you get tired of all your wishing and your hoping?
There must be something more than sitting here and moping

[Chorus]
I think I'd rather be a fish
'Cause then I wouldn't have to hear you bitch and moan all day
About the one that got away
I think I'd rather spend my time among the currents
So I couldn't see you whine and pout
Only god knows what about
I think I'd rather be a fish
'Cause then I wouldn't have to hear you bitch and moan all day
About the one that got away
I think I'd rather spend my time among the currents
So I couldn't see you whine and pout
Only god knows what about
