"Frightening Fishes" lyrics

Benjamin Gibbard & Tom Howe Lyrics

"Frightening Fishes"
(from "Shrinking" soundtrack)

These days, I've been barely holding on
Climbing the walls every dusk 'til dawn
Fearing the future, mourning the past
The hours moving slowly, then vanishing fast

But I'm trying in my way to concede
And to tell you just what I need

Help me carry this weight that's dragging me down
Pull me out of the drink before I start to drown
Let the wreckage all sink to where the fishes are frightening
I wanna hear myself think again
I wanna hear myself think again

For so long I've been turning into the skid
And waltzing away from the damage I did
I'd brush off my shoulders and tuck in my shirt
And flee from the scene before I knew who'd been hurt

But I've been trying my best to concede
To cease to take, just receive
'Cause there's more than your love that I need, that I need

Help me carry this weight, that's dragging me down
Pull me out of the drink before I start to drown
Let the wreckage all sink to where the fishes are frightening
I wanna hear myself think again

Help me carry this weight that's dragging me down
Pull me out of the drink before I start to drown
Let the wreckage all sink to where the fishes are frightening
I wanna hear myself think again
I wanna hear myself think again
Think again
