The Common Cold Lyrics by MARINA

2007

[Spoken Intro]
[Coughing and sneezing]
There is no known cure for the common cold

[Verse 1]
You said, "Let's go on a break
Sounded a little bit fake
Sounded like you just wanted to go on a date
Well, you don't need my permission
There's no point for me to keep wishin'
You were more, more, more

[Pre-Chorus 1]
You're a world-class liar
I am a damn crier
Try to drag you higher
But the stars, they fracture
Now I'm piecin' together a puzzle of your face
But the part for your heart, it never fits into place
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh, oh, oh) Place

[Chorus]
Love is a turbulent sea
Are you scared to swim with me?
Swim past the fishermen's nets that have already tried
To trap you and me
I remember when you said
"There are plenty of other fish in the sea"
You said, "If this is love, then the current will
Bring you back, bring you back to me" (La-la-la-la-la)

[Post-Chorus]
(Bring you back to me)

[Verse 2]
Feeling a certain shame
Let myself be treated this way
No, this won't happen again, not over my dead body
Like two dumb dogs walkin' in circles
Got a feelin', was I just chasin' the wrong tail? (Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Well it's better havin' your head stuck up your ass, you can't sail

[Pre-Chorus 2]
He said, "You don't appreciate me"
Like a bastard on heat
Two weeks, I couldn't eat
But I made my pain discreet
Wouldn't sit the exams you wanted me to take
I'm above all your games, this shark won't fall for your bait
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh, oh, oh)

Plenty of fish in the sea
But I just wasn't hungry

[Chorus]
Love is a turbulent sea
Are you scared to swim with me?
Swim past the fishermen's nets that have already tried
To trap you and me
I remember when you said
"There are plenty of other fish in the sea"
You said, "If this is love, then the current will
Bring you back, bring you back to me"

[Outro]
(Bring you back to)
(Bring you back to me)
