lyrics

little crab
crushed all of your shells
I think you noticed
saw you crawl away
didn't mean to tear off all your claws
didn't want to fall into your cave

tiny snail don't eat the salt in me
I found you worried
and made your tiny day
carry your shell
slows down all my speed
fits with my hell
I never play for keeps

but I can wait awhile
as you regenerate
dress a doll to smile
squint to see her frown
did you change your mind
I'm bait until I'm real
sink your hook I'm trying
swim to see you free
looks like me
