lyrics

I caught you between the cracks in the street
Laughing at people stuck on endless repeat
Were you laughing at me
Were you laughing at me

The first time I heard your voice outside the theater door
I knew your whole story and still I wanted more
So we saw an old man who sang about the Old West
I longed to hold your hand but feared that you'd protest
And on the home drive we counted the signs
I walked you to your door one magic moonless night
And when you called it a date I danced till I died
Didn't see anything wrong, heaven knows I tried to

There's a lot of other fish
There's a lot of other fish out there
I got lots of time to kill
And a lot of dumb ideas that go nowhere
Someone to hold when I get lost in a world so insincere
Wherever I go until the day I die I'm always here
I'm always here

I don't understand, could all of this have been planned
By someone I admit I never really believed in
I was so scared to fall or did I ruin it all
These days the way it happened is so hard to recall
What was I supposed to say, I saw you there on his lap
I didn't get in the way, I wanted you to be happy
With the way your body held, you tried to follow me home
You don't know how it broke my heart to tell you no

But there's a lot that I don't know
And mama's got a lot of mouths to feed
I try to help her but it's hard
There's so many things that we all need
But I'd really love to come with you and swallow all those fears
Cause you're the kindest person I have known in seventeen years
Wherever I go until the day I die I'm always here
To point you out when you can't find yourself in the mirror

There's a lot of other fish
There's a lot of other fish out there
I got lots of other fish
There's a lot of other fish out there
There's a lot of other, there's a lot of other
There's a lot of other fish in the sea
I don't want another fish
No I don't want another you and me
I'm always here
Always

There's a lot of other fish out there
But none of them are you so I don't care
Oh no, no I don't care
There's a lot of other fish out there
But none of them have your purple hair
Oh no, I miss your purple hair
There's a lot of other fish out there
But none of them wear your kind of underwear
Oh no, I love to wear your underwear
There's a lot of other fish out there
But none of them rub my back with Nair
Oh no, my back is covered with hair
There's a lot of other fish out there
I got bit by a giant bear
It hurt
But not as bad as when you left me
There's a lot of other fish out there
Like tuna and bass and clownfish and codfish
And one fish and two fish and zoo fish and space fish
And whales and dolphins
Which are not fish but who cares
Cause none of them are you fish
Cause none of them are you
You're the only you
And I
Well I am not a fish
I'm not a fish
Oh fish
