[Verse 1]
Connecting the dots between what's broken and what's not
I cannot take it away, I cannot take it away
I traveled closer to it, on a beach somewhere
Beside the sea where there's a coast that matches the colour green
[Chorus]
If I have in fact a whale on my shoulder
Too colossal to ignore
I close my eyes and count to ten
Hopin' I will not see it again
But if I have in fact a whale on my shoulder
I know it won't matter
'Cause when the morning comes I'll be on my way
I, and I'll be on my way
[Verse 2]
The constеllations add up, there's too many stars to add up
I cannot take it away, I cannot takе it away
I fill up my lungs full of the air of the night
Somethin' up there catches my eye
I cannot fight it anymore, I cannot fight it anymore
[Chorus]
If I have in fact a whale on my shoulder
Too colossal to ignore
I close my eyes and count to ten
Hopin' I will not see it again
But if I have in fact a whale on my shoulder
I know it won't matter
'Cause when the morning comes I'll be on my way
I, and I'll be on my way
[Bridge]
Most peculiar is that I forgot to breathe
It's hard to see from far away that I'm still standing
So when the doors close and I'm on my own
I will fight it, you will see
When the doors close and I'm on my own
I will fight it, you will see
[Chorus]
If I have in fact a whale on my shoulder
Too colossal to ignore
I close my eyes and count to ten
Hopin' I will not see it again
But if I have in fact a whale on my shoulder
I know it won't matter
'Cause when the morning comes I'll be on my way
I, and I'll be on my—
I-I-I-I-I
