Cuddlefish Lyrics by Stephan Nance

A Troubled Piece of Fruit

2012

[Verse]
All my antics and my gibberish
Put a damper on my sentences
I'm a cuddlefish
Trying to cover up my incompetence
Maybe your fancy just isn't ticklish
Maybe your heart belongs to another fish
But on your part that'd be foolish
Baby, I think you ought to think through this

[Chorus]
The sea is big big big
And it's full of scary things
Like great white sharks
And colossal squid
And I'm worried about you
I don't want you to get hurt
I don’t want you to get hurt
I don’t want you to get hurt

[Post-Chorus]
If you love something
So they say
You should set it free
But I disagree
'Cause I can safely say that
Catching and releasing
Isn't what I'd want for me

[Verse]
I know I know better than you do
What is best for you to do
Can't you see the logic there?
It's superlogical
My perspective is an outside one
And that's really saying something
'Cause we don't have mirrors
And since we're under the water
There isn't a surface
For you to see your reflection in
Not that you don't look nice!
In fact, how wonderful you look
Is exactly what the problem is

[Chorus]
The sea is big big big
And it's full of scary things
Like great white sharks
And colossal squid
And I'm worried about you
I don't want you to get hurt
I don’t want you to get hurt
I don’t want you to get hurt

[Bridge]
It guts me every time
I hear you're frequenting
Such sketchy dives
It's not like it's a crime
But what if you get caught by a scuba diver
Just like Nemo and I can't find you?

[Verse]
Still I'd never cease my quest for you
What else would there be for me to do?
Sure, there are plenty of fishes in the ocean
But not one of them could ever get a hook in my devotion
So my love for you supports recent scholarly publications
Reporting that fish have a greater capacity for memory
Than was previously believed
And I will miss you for the rest of my life
