Love-iathan Lyrics

One day I was swimming in the ocean

When I felt a sort of tug

It wasn't a shark bite just a small touch

Like an underwater hug

I swam to the shoreline

Wond'ring the whole time

Just what it could have been

And I felt a bit slimy from a tiny patch

Of kelp stuck to my skin

I walked up the beach

Back to my hotel

Something called to me

A sound and a smell

Back in my room I felt something I craved

I sat on the balcony watching the waves

Finally went bed but couldn't sleep

My mind sank to thoughts damp and deep

Then a knock on the door startled me to rise

I opened it up and she filled my eyes

There was a creature in a t-shirt

Standing in front of me

She had a faint fishy smell

But I could tell she was just the girl for me

I'm in love love love love love love-iathan

My heart gave me a shove and I took her by the fin

I kissed her carapace where her smiling face probably would have been

I'm in love love love love love love-iathan

I knew it was her whose touch I felt

When I was swimming earlier

Despite her scales and her claws

She could not be girlier

She gurgled some words I couldn't understand

But I knew just what she meant

And we've been together on sea and land

Since she was Heaven sent

She's like an angel from the ocean depths

From below and from above

And no one who sees us can believe us

They cannot fathom our love

I'm in love love love love love love-iathan

My heart gave me a shove and I took her by the fin

I kissed her carapace where her smiling face probably would have been

I'm in love love love love love love-iathan

She took me down below scuba gear in tow

To meet the parents who had spawned her

They hoped our love would fade since we were different made

But our hearts only grew fonder

Ours is a love they cannot understand

A soul match love's true essence

I love her burbly voice her stalky eyes

And her bioluminescence

Friends say I'm out of my depth

She's out of my league

But they're twenty thousand wrong

And I'm thrilled to say

I'm on the hook to stay

And so I wrote this song

I'm in love love love love love love-iathan

My heart gave me a shove and I took her by the fin

I kissed her carapace where her smiling face probably would have been

I'm in love love love love love love-iathan

I love the nautical things she does

Just because

And I've seen plenty of fish in my day

But I'm more than proud to sing out loud

That she's the one that didn't get away

I'm in love love love love love love-iathan

I'm in love love love love love love-iathan

I'm in love love love love love love-iathan

I'm in love love love love love love-iathan
