Penguin Lyrics
I'm getting stupid sitting here
Waiting for the light to change
Shadows rearrange
My brain is dull, I'm holding on
We need to break these walls down
Need to flee this scene.
[Chorus]
If I could fly a million miles
Could not keep me down
Swim the endless ocean
Just need you around
If I could fly a million miles
Could not keep me down
Swim the endless ocean
Just need you around
I'm going crazy stuck in here
Am I made of bigger things
A body big as dreams
My voice is empty without you
Let me sing to you
All our played out love songs
I feel the size of an empty bed
How will I find you?
How will I find you?
I feel the size of an empty bed
How will I find you?
How will I find you?
[Repeat the previous verse with the Chorus overlapping 4x]
Waiting for the light to change
Shadows rearrange
We need to break these walls down
Need to flee this scene.
If I could fly a million miles
Could not keep me down
Swim the endless ocean
Just need you around
Could not keep me down
Swim the endless ocean
Just need you around
Am I made of bigger things
A body big as dreams
Let me sing to you
All our played out love songs
How will I find you?
How will I find you?
How will I find you?
How will I find you?

I love this song. Absolutely love it.
But I'm not sure about some of the lyrics because he sounds like he slurs some of the words in the chorus and the last line of the second verse.
I have no idea what it means but I love it. lol
He just went through a breakup. He feels stuck in the same place( waiting for something to change). The shadows rearrange.
He wants to get away from it all, he feels empty with her gone. The memories of her are still present in his mind.
Hes discovering himself again.
heathereve I think you pretty much nailed, but a there's a bit. He realizes he may have potential with out her (Am I made of bigger things/A body big as dreams) but still feels empty with out her. No matter what he does or how far he goes, he still needs her. He still wants to find her (in his bed, of couse). It's a pretty intense "I miss you" break up song.
I don't know if the song is particularly about a break-up. I think it's more about loneliness and the overwhelming desire to find someone to love and who will love him.
