[Chorus]
Soft in the middle, melting away
Lonely as a shark in dark room, counting away

[Verse 1]
All I ask is just one more chance
If I grew horns and fins, at least I'd get to start again
Speak in tongues, just like it all began
Somewhere underneath the sea, are teeth the size of you and me

[Chorus]
Soft in the middle, melting away
Lonely as a shark in dark room, counting away

[Verse 2]
Understand why I keep looking down
When everybody loves a fool
Everyone apart from you
Finally, is it all fantasy?
Hardly worth the time it takes
I'll only make the same mistakes

[Chorus Variation 1]
Because I'm soft in the middle, melting away
Lonely as a shark in dark room, counting away
Soft in the middle, melting away
Lonely as a shark in dark room, I'm just the same

[Chorus Variation 2]
Soft in the middle, melting away
Lonely as a shark in dark room, counting away
Soft in the middle, melting away
Lonely as a shark in dark room, and I'm just the same
