...I'm tellin' you:
Picture this
Another Monday morning
You go to work
But you don't know why you're going.
Every day
It's just the same
It's stupid and boring
And it feels like you're going insane.

Right now
You don't understand it
Slow down
There's no reason to panic, because
Monday
You're still gonna make it, but you
Can't get that far when you're a
Fish out of water, my friend.

Marco, Polo,
Don't you know that's how the game goes?
Marco, Polo,
You're a fish out of water and I bet you didn't know:

Every day
Life's getting harder
And you're living like a fish out of water.
You can't breathe, or you
Don't bother
That's what it's like when you're a
Fish out of water.

...I'm tellin' you:
You wake up one day, look around
Realise you're losing time
That tide has got you
And you watch as your life
Starts to drift by.
Thought you'd go with the flow but the next thing you know
Feels like you're drowning
Take a step back check yourself make sure you don't f**k it up
And then you do it again, so

Right now
You don't understand it
Slow down
There's no reason to panic, because
Monday
You're still gonna make it, but you
Can't get that far when you're a
Fish out of water, my friend.

Marco, Polo,
Don't you know that's how the game goes?
Marco, Polo,
You're a fish out of water and I bet you didn't know:

Every day
Life's getting harder
And you're living like a fish out of water.
You can't breathe, or you
Don't bother
That's what it's like when you're a
Fish out of water.



Now I'm under water so deep that I'm blind
Feeling around in the hopes that I find
Inspiration, or something that would touch me
Grounded so deep my feet can't even move me
Time, running in the rat race all day,
I'm, thinkin' whose life is it anyway?
Feeling worthless, can't find the surface
Swimmin' in my mind, just to find a purpose
And the tide's all low and I'm all exposed
Time's froze, we're still wonderin' 'bout those padline Joes (?)
Nobody told you where to run,
Bang bang: you missed the starting gun.

Every day
Life's getting harder
And you're living like a fish out of water.
You can't breathe, or you
Don't bother
That's what it's like when you're a
Fish out of water.
Every day			
Life's getting harder
And you're living like a fish out of water.
You can't breathe, or you
Don't bother
That's what it's like when you're a
Fish out of water.
