O My Heart

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

And I throw my heart back to the ocean
But it don't go far, it come back floating
And I watch it wash up with the dead fish
But it ain't quite dead, it just is like this

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

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

Buhm buhm buhm buhm

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 a black in a rainbow
Oh my heart, it's so damn cold, so damn cold

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

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
