[Verse 1: Ryan with Molly Guldemond]
Oh my heart, it's a fish out of water
Oh my heart, it's a fish on the rocks
And it bakes in the bad sun
Oh my heart, it's a rock in the gutter
Oh my heart, it's a rock and great boulder
And stuck in the gutter
[Chorus 1: Ryan with Molly Guldemond and Jasmin Parkin]
And I throw my heart back to the ocean
But it don't go far, it come back floating
And I watch it wash it up with the dead fish
But it ain't quite dead, it just is like this
[Verse 2: Ryan with Molly Guldemond]
Oh my heart, it's a house in tornado
Oh my heart, it's a house in the sky
In the eye of tornado
Oh my heart, it's a roof in El Niño
Oh my heart, it's a roof made of straw
In the jaw of El Niño
[Chorus 2: Ryan with Molly and Jasmin]
And I pour my heart a new foundation
But it don't set hard, it just stays shaking
And I scratch my name, I scratch my name in
But it don't set hard, it gets mixed back in
[Post-Chorus: Ryan with Molly and Jasmin]
Bum bum bum, bum bum bum, bum bum bum, bum
Bum bum bum, bum bum bum, bum bum bum
Bum bum bum, bum bum bum, bum bum buhhh...
[Bridge: Ryan with Molly and Jasmin]
Oh my heart, it's a fish out of water
Oh my heart, it's a rock in the gutter
Oh my heart, it's the black in a rainbow
Oh my heart, it's so damn so cold
So damn cold
[Chorus 3: Ryan with Molly and Jasmin]
And I throw my heart into the fire
'Cause I want to set my heart on fire
And I watch it try, befriending embers
But the ice don't melt in mid-December
[Outro: Ryan with Molly and Jasmin]
Oh my heart, it's a fish out of water
Oh my heart, it's a fish on the rocks
And it bakes in the bad sun
