Tadpole Lyrics

Tadpole swimming

In the ocean

Going somewhere

Always somewhere



Maybe it's like my grandma says

You're going to dinner

With all your tadpole friends

And wouldn't that be nice



I could just tell that you're happy, the way you're moving with the current

It's almost like you're dancing

With tadpoles that don't need music, they just feel it

And wouldn't that be nice



Lately I feel strangely

Even a poet sometimes cannot find the words

It's like someone's been whispering

All of the truth I hoped I'd never have to learn



So tadpole floating on the water

I want to be you, in this moment

And no I am not weird, I just wonder what it would feel like

To live the sea life, just for one night



I would start up a tadpole choir

And we would sing Greg Brown

Like Brian Rogers

It may be nice



Maybe I would just stay home

And love my lover

With my whole heart



Lately I feel helpless

Even a sailor sometimes cannot catch the wind

But I could have picked a better place to lose my momentum

Than in this parking lot at 3am



And when you say the things

You say you mean them

Or is it just all of the Catholic guilt again

Just sinking in



Just a tadpole swimming in the ocean

Sinking in

Feels like I'm sinking in
