Have I told you about octopuses skin? They change their colour With chromatophores to fit the place they're in They can look you right in the eye Lose a leg and grow it back and play pretend We have a lot to learn and When I'm walking through the day I've learnt the right thing to say But at the supermarket today I forgot the right things to say
Stand on my shoulders I need a little help with things I didn't notice And sometimes you might see some things I don't Where are we going? All waiting for directions whеn our eyes are closеd And sometimes I might see some things you don't
Cheap candles on the walls and birthday cards Should I buy her flowers? Is that too much? I don't know about them, she likes them a lot Is that what love is? Two minds with different constellations Fitting in to light up the sky The supermarkets really really loud today Headphones on I play that song as I walk away
Stand on my shoulders I need a little help with things I didn't notice And sometimes you might see some things I don't Where are we going? All waiting for directions when our eyes are closed And sometimes I might see some things you don't
When you pass an octopus a little shell Across the line of life they take it from your hand Put it in their home, and can you tell from how I speak? It made me sad to think that at the supermarket Someone might not cross the line to understand me I think I'm like an octopus sometimes Trying so hard to blend in I forgot that I have something I could give
Stand on my shoulders I need a little help with things I didn't notice And sometimes you might know some things I don't Where are we going? All waiting for directions When our eyes are closed And sometimes I might know some things you don't
I can sing this song Einstein saw that clock and he saw more I can't do that but if you're sad you can sing along Where are we going? All waiting for direction when our eyes are closed And we all have so much more that we could know That we could know We all have so much that we could know
