All day, like a fish in a bowl
I’m waiting for you in an empty room
Like a fish that can’t talk in a bowl
I can’t say anything in case you leave

I want to share my breath with you tonight
Will it even reach to your heart?
I can’t accept that you’re not here
I just keep drinking strong drinks to get over it

I’ma be your man, I’m like a dog without its owner
I have too much grief to go to you
Why did I see you as a river
When I can’t even fill you up in an ocean

December 24, late at night, lyrics written studio
There was no vision between us, as I pounded on the walls
Recording my memories is my job, I guess
Missing you, at this time when the sun is rising

Now you’re being buried as if you were nothing
Am I in even half out of half of your thoughts?
I always want to be the star of your thoughts
The colors of our memories are thicker than I thought

All day, like a fish in a bowl
I’m waiting for you in an empty room
Like a fish that can’t talk in a bowl
I can’t say anything in case you leave

I thought everything was weird
I realized everything I assumed was right
Pieces of moments that passed by without thought
Became a puzzle, coming down hard in my head

Words that are hard to understand, words that don’t add up
Did you want to just fill one up like that?
Did you want to place me as your decoration
In your display window?

If you think about it, it was such a simple problem
But I listened to my friends and ignored it
I said, it’s not, it’s not, it’s not that
It can’t be, that won’t happen

On my way home, I thought of all the strange actions
Your excuses, your look, your face, your words
Your awkward gestures, they all swam through my head
Why did you do that to me?

All day, like a fish in a bowl
I’m waiting for you in an empty room
Like a fish that can’t talk in a bowl
I can’t say anything in case you leave

Yes, now I know why you avoided me sometimes and disappeared
When I was struggling and about to leave
You appeared with a shy smile and held my hand

I know, I know (but it’s too late)
I know, I know now (but I can’t turn things back)
I can’t stop my heart (it still remains by your side)
