Goldfish

I once envied the fish inside the tank

Because the way you looked at them was so kind

The kind of smile you show

Only to those you treasure the most

I’d still love to know

How it feels to look at you inside a tank

Swimming by the flow

My mind is going blank

I was once an outcast

Trying to find a name for myself

Then you let me in, not knowing about my past

Sharing the space in this home I never have

I’d still love to know

How it feels to look at you inside a tank

Swimming by the flow

My mind is going blank

I’d still love to know

How it feels to look at you inside a tank

I’m lost for words

Please fill in the blanks

But now that I don’t have to wonder

Jumping out of freshwater

The thought of not being able to touch

I would surely hate that

This night where we grow one step closer

Stay awake a little longer

I’d still love to know

How it feels to look at you inside a tank

Swimming by the flow

My mind is going blank

I’d still love to know

How it feels to look at you inside a tank

I’m lost for words

Please fill in the blanks

Tonight we grow one step closer

Let’s stay awake a little longer
