Emmagen Creek (Explicit)

I was talking at length

'bout the absolute strength

that it must take a fish to evolve

in the emmagen creek

stripped down to our knees

you reached on over to solve

some ache inside me

and it felt like lightning

now when I meet a bird

well it's frankly absurd

but you're all I can see

you mean the whole world to me

it was late afternoon

we were sat on a sand dune

you were thinking out loud

said you'd never felt skin

like the one that I'm in

and I caught my heart in my mouth

trying to surface

singing 'I don't deserve this'

oh, like a fish out the ocean

I still get this notion

that I don't belong here at all

but I'm stuck in your orbit

(or whatever you call it)

just doing my best not to fall

right off the surface

I know this

can't last forever

just look at the weather

the aerosol's taking its toll

so if something tectonic

or some ****ing pandemic

loosens our grip on it all

I hope you heard this

you made it worth it

now I know we've evolved

and that planets revolve

and there's plenty of fish in the sea

but when I do my taxes

or watch the earth spin on its axis

you're all I can see

you mean the whole world to me
