Oceanography

[Intro]
Ooh, ooh

[Verse 1]
Comparison's a game that always ends in tears
Or heavy hearts or wasted years
Whatever kills me first

And all the best parts of all the best things
Is all I'd ever want to be
Oh, mirrors and the skyscrapers they build

[Pre-Chorus]
Towering men to weigh my worth against
While I try to

[Chorus]
Hold my breathe underwater
Like the great oceanographers
Hold my breathe underwater
And pray it's not all wasted effort

[Verse 2]
And I envy you the things that scare you half to death
A job with no excitement left
Whatever kills you first

And I'll bet your broken heart you saw it
Coming for us just as I did
Conversations and the doubts they build

[Chorus]
Hold my breathe underwater
Like the great oceanographers
Hold my breathe underwater
And pray it's not all wasted effort

[Bridge]
The chorus where we scream the title half a dozen times
I'm tired of this, I'm tired of this
I'm tiring of this
I'm tired of this, I'm tired of this
I'm tiring of this
I'm sick of holding

[Chorus]
My breath underwater
Like the great oceanographers
Hold my breathe underwater
And pray it's not all wasted effort

[Outro]
The ending where we try to work out where to stop
