[Verse 1]
Iris in the morning rain, sitting in a sea
It's hard to tell the blues apart, she's salty just like me
She thinks we're on an island or she wishes that she were
She thinks she hears the sirens but I think it's only
Iris in the morning rain, sitting in a sea
[Chorus]
She didn't wanna see
The fruit was out of reach
She's caught between the ocean
And the bear upon the beach
Imaginary waves
Could never drown you
And I didn't want to tell her
I didn't want to tell her
[Verse 2]
Iris on a ladder, climbing closer to the sky (Iris)
Rising from the grind, she is a quitter just like I (I rise)
Sitting on a rooftop watching molecules collide
Safe above it all she's drinking mercury on ice
Iris on a ladder climbing closer to the sky (Iris)
[Chorus]
She didn't wanna see
The stars were out of reach
She's caught between the ocean
And the bear upon the beach
Imaginary gods
Could never save you
And I didn't want to tell her
I didn't want to tell her
[Chorus]
She didn't wanna see
The stars were out of reach
She's caught between the ocean
And the bear upon the beach
Imaginary gods
Could never save you
But I didn't want to tell her
I didn't wanna tell her
Didn't wanna tell her
I didn't wanna tell her
