ORBS - Jaws on Repeat (Life on Hold)

Текст песни

If you wake up and realize you’ve done nothing with your life
Could you get a second chance to get things right?
I’d like to think so, I’d like to think so
Instead you stay up all night watching Jaws and getting high
Could you then grow up to be a shark?
Oh no no, oh no no, I don’t think so
And if you’re sickened by the sea and all it has inside
Could that shark then turn into me?
Golly I suppose, golly I suppose
And do you feel quite deep?
Your drug-induced philosophies
Mere puddles diluted into seas
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh, I do think so
You turn fishes to beasts
Just ambitions and dreams
Your facade is fading
From far off you look very tall
Close up you don’t scare me…
If you stay up all night drinking someone else’s wine
Contemplating space and time
Does that make you deep? Or maybe you’re just a thief?
If you cite great thinkers of old
Can one day people quote your words?
Oh no no, oh no no, I don’t think so
You’re stumbling, misquoting, there’s a slur in your speech
Oh no, oh no
Drunk ambitions and dreams
From far off you look very tall
Close up you don’t scare me at all
From far off you look very tall
Close up you’re nothing at all
There’s a vast and growing wallet in the sky
Dispersing knowledge via cannabis and wine
So grab your boots and grab a pail
Raise a flag and set your sails!
Puddle jump and talk of whales!
Reach on out and grab it, now you got it!
…Oh, it’s gone…
At least you had it for a moment
It tasted sweet, I’m sure
Reach on out and grab it, now you got it!
…Oh, it’s gone…
At least you had it for a moment
It tasted sweet, I’m sure it did
From far off you look very tall
Close up you don’t scare me at all
From far off you look very tall
Close up you are nothing… nothing
