Oceanography Songtext
von Charlie Barnes

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
