lyrics

Fish Bowl Song
Words and music by Carrie Ferguson

Well I’ve been feeling crazy, feel like I’m out of my mind
Feel like I’m standing at the bottom of a fish bowl staring up at time
I don’t know about love, but that’s the only word I know
For what I feel when I’m standing next to you or thinking ‘bout you when I’m alone

One thing I can say (one thing I can say)
I’m gonna stick around (I’m gonna stick around)
Connect my head in the sky with my feet on the ground

Cause the wind keeps blowing and the river keeps flowing
Sometimes I forget I’m free
Green green growing, who knows where we’re going
But I’ve got a light on in me, yeah, I’ve got a light on in me

Sometimes things get complicated, useless conversations get reincarnated
Beating each other with capital ‘C’s, yelling “don’t you Communicate at me”
Well, all we really want is to be loved, all we really want is to be held
Won’t you take me to your body and hold my hand
And kiss me as you tell me that you’re trying to understand

One thing I can say (one thing I can say)
I’m gonna stick around (I’m gonna stick around)
Connect my head in the sky with my feet on the ground

Cause the wind keeps blowing and the river keeps flowing
Sometimes I forget I’m free
Green green growing, who knows where we’re going
But I’ve got a light on in me, yeah, I’ve got a light on in me

Well you know I’m gonna marry myself someday, until I’m ready I’ll wear this ring round my neck, on a string
That don’t mean I plan to live my life alone, it only means I plan to love myself
And if we’re gonna love each other might as well do it now
I thought I had the answers but I’m still learning how
To give what I can and get what I need and recognize the things that make me bleed

One thing I can say (one thing I can say)
I’m gonna stick around (I’m gonna stick around)
Connect my head in the sky with my feet on the ground

Cause the wind keeps blowing and the river keeps flowing
Sometimes I forget I’m free
Green green growing, who knows where we’re going
But I’ve got a light on in me, yeah, I’ve got a light on in me

Carrie Ferguson Northampton, Massachusetts

Carrie grew up playing an enormous upright, chocolate-brown piano. It had a darkly booming, slightly furry quality to it, like the weather in her hometown of Arcata on the North Coast of California. Ferguson credits its sonorous voice, combined with the perpetual fog and clamminess as instilling in her the baseline aesthetic of melancholic optimism that permeates her words and music today. ... more
