The Whale Lyrics

May sixteenth, a year has gone by

A year has gone by

Everything I thought I knew hurts to hold on to

A whale lives in the sea

Just down the hill from me

Sometimes she takes me for a ride

When I am feeling down

That's when she comes around

And we both head out with the tide

And down under we go

She tells me I'll be okay if I just do what's right

So I gotta pick this thing up off the ground

Lift my arms and swing it around

And let go

A coral choir sings, there's angels, clowns and kings

Hold on we're going down where the dark things fly

But the deeper down I go, the less I want to know

The less I want to see

The truth may set me free, but it'll still make me cry

Of all the stupid things

Why did I have to did I have to bring all this extra weight?

Cause I gotta pick this thing up off the ground

Lift my arms and swing it around

I gotta pick this thing up off the ground

Let it go, let it go, let it go

Relax, follow my voice

Lift the rock and toss it

Lift the block and rock it

Tie yourself to it while you're at it

I wake up and it's all gone

She's just sitting there with the tape recorder on

Oh but it was all so real, why do i feel

Like I gotta pick this thing up off the ground

Lift my arms and swing it around

I gotta pick this thing up off the ground

Lift my arms and

Swing it around and around and around

And let go

May sixteenth, a year has gone by
