Lyrics
Dolphins
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
They say that,
Say it's wise.
They say that,
It's the only time.
To reach for what remains.
To look for what's the same.
Dolphins,
Swim around.
And dolphins,
Drag me down.
Drag me down.
Say that,
It's the truth.
There's an ocean,
Reach in front of you.
And dolphins,
Hit the sound,
And when dolphins,
Circle round.
If it seems so,
Like the world juts in.
Those dolphins.
Drag me down.
Drag me down.
Say that,
Say it's wise.
Say that,
That it's the only vice.
Yet you say so,
What remains?
And look so,
Uncertain.
And dolphins.
Look around.
And those dolphins,
Drag me down.
Drag me down.
It looks though,
The world juts in,
As dolphins.
Drag me down.
Drag me down.
