Oceansize - Amputee Lyrics

This king of overstatement now

Would like to whisper

Sweet something in your ear all day

From now till then

I can’t swim for (irons) on my tail, they want an answer

And hip-hip hooray, we lose again

Dear god, you can suit yourself



Oh you could be, an amputee

There’s got to be

Something better than…



We stink of understatement, we’re so over-friendly

More people to latch on to

More ears to bend

And I’ve swam the long route home enough, yeah broken shoulders

And hip-hip hooray, we lose again

Dear god, how do you forgive yourself



You could be an amputee

It wouldn’t matter all that much

It wouldn’t mean a thing to me

So answer me

Do you believe its true?

There’s gotta be something better than



So don’t listen to…

Don’t listen to yourselves

We are addicted to ourselves

We leave room for on one else

So answer me

Do you believe its true?

There’s gotta be something better than



Keep pushin’ back and you’ll come up roses (x2)

We’re not the same even though we share a name

Keep pushin’ back and you’ll come up roses (x2)



I've heard it all before

Seen it all before

Played this scene before



Oh you could be an amputee

It wouldn't matter all that much,

It wouldn't mean a thing to me

So answer me

Do you believe it's true?

There's gotta be something better than this



But it’s nothing to you (x2)

No it’s nothing to you

It’s something better than this



But it’s nothing to you (x2)

No it’s nothing to you

It’s something better than this
