'Aquarium' - Rod Machismo

Everything looks prettier Through a gentle filter of blue Music fades And faces seem so far away Even when they're right there In front of you I watch your lips move Guess what you're saying Smile when it seems like I should I've gotten pretty good at that I mean Like, really good There's a whole little world in here And I know every inch Every rock Every shadow Every place I can hide And I keep waving towards the Other side Like Maybe this time You'll wave back I'm in the aquarium Floatin' where nobody can reach me Everything beautiful Bent by the water 'Tween you and me Put your hand against the glass I'll put mine where you can see Almost touchin' Almost somethin' Nearly pure enough to breathe In the aquarium In the aquarium Blue light (Blue light) Everything looks better In the blue light (Blue light) Blue light (Blue light) Blue light (Blue light) Blue light Sometimes I wonder If the fish know That they're bein' observed Or if they just keep on swimming 'Cuz it's all They know to do? I drift around in circles Put on another act Come right up close When somebody wants a better view And when they leave Well There's always someone new They tell me I'm hard to read That's so weird 'Cuz I'm right here Every stupid thought Every selfish want Pressed up against something that Seems so clear You could see All of me You could be my Everything If only you could ever find Your way in here But that's the thing I fear I'm in the aquarium Floatin' where nobody can reach me Everything beautiful Bent by the water 'Tween you and me Put your hand against the glass I'll put mine where you can see Almost touchin' Almost somethin' Nearly pure enough to breathe In the aquarium In the aquarium Blue light (Blue light) Everything looks better In the blue light (Blue light) Blue light (Blue light) Blue light (Blue light) Blue light Maybe if you stayed long enough You'd get to catch me Forget you're watchin' Maybe I'd stop posin' Treading water Maybe you'd see me How I am When I don't know I'm being seen 'Cuz sometimes When the lights go out And there's nobody left Standin' on the other side I swear this room gets bigger And bigger And bigger Until I'm the Smallest thing alive I'm in the aquarium Floatin' where nobody can reach me (Floating) Everything beautiful Bent by the water 'Tween you and me (Beautiful) Put your hand against the glass I'll put mine where you can see Almost touchin' Almost somethin' Nearly pure enough to breathe In the aquarium In the aquarium Blue light (Blue light) Everything looks better In the blue light (Blue light) Blue light (Blue light) Blue light Blue light
