O My Heart Lyrics

O my heart, it's a fish out of water
O my heart, it's a fish on the rocks and it bakes in the bad sun
O my heart, it's a rock in the gutter
O my heart, it's a rocking grey boulder and stuck in the gutter
And I throw my heart back to the ocean
But it don't go far, it come back floating
And I watch it wash up with the dead fish
But it ain't quite dead, it just is lifeless
O my heart, it's a house in tornado
O my heart, it's a house in the sky in the eye of tornado
O my heart, it's a roof in El Niño
O my heart, it's a roof made of straw in the jaw of El Niño
And I pour my heart a new foundation
But it don't set hard it just is shaking
And I scratch my name, I scratch my name in

But it don't set hard it gets mixed back in
Bah-bah-bah…
O my heart, it's a fish out of water
O my heart, it's a rock in the gutter
O my heart, it's a black in a rainbow
O my heart, it's so damn cold, so damn cold
And I throw my heart into the fire
Cuz I want to set my heart on fire
And I watch it try befriending embers
But the ice don't melt in mid-December
O my heart, it's a fish out of water
O my heart, it's a fish on the rocks and it bakes in the bad sun
