lyrics

Periscoping

You’re down below in your submarine
Floating with the jellies and anemones
You can wait a while
But you can’t wait for forever

You’ve been living in silence with only sea lions to keep you company
And even though you’re in hiding there’s no use denying what staring back at me

You may be afraid of all the ways you’ll end up choking
And know that there are many more like you
But if you choose to live your life with one eye periscoping
I wonder what your other eye will do

You’re trading blows with an octopus
As your periscope goes where your body should
Because you can float awhile
But you can’t float for forever

I hope someday you’ll look back and smile cause you took back the life you’re meant to have
But now it’s time to take action, it’s time to stop acting like you’d be happy with half

You may be afraid of all the ways you’ll end up choking
And know that there are many more like you
But if you choose to live your life with one eye periscoping
I wonder what the other eye will do

We both know the other eye is like the other guys back in high school
Basically he’s a reject
We both know the other eye is a little drunk and a little high
And never finishes his part of the group project

You may be afraid of all the ways you’ll end up choking
And know that there are many more like you
But if you choose to live your life with one eye periscoping
I wonder what the other eye will do
