About Fishtail

"Fishtail" seems to be about a tumultuous relationship where one person in the relationship is manipulating the other to feel sad or unhappy. The opening lines suggest that the person singing is aware of their partner's manipulation, warning them not to make empty promises unless they truly care. The lyrics in the chorus, "You wanted me sadder, you wanted me sadder, can't you see it?" and "For me, you are the one and if I'm not the one for you don't .

Fishtail Lyrics

[00:00.63] Don't you dare say that you'll braid my hair, babe
[00:05.28] If you don't really care
[00:09.12] You wanted me sadder, you wanted me sadder
[00:14.46] Fishtail, what's the matter? Ah-ah, ah-ah-ah
[00:21.85] Skipping rope in the bayou, bayou
[00:24.56] Slip softly into rain
[00:27.42] Not that smart but I've got things to say
[00:32.76] Palm trees in black and white
[00:35.64] I like to watch them sway
[00:38.52] You're so funny, I wish I could skinny-dip inside your mind
[00:44.44] Lately, I've been thinking about how things used to be
[00:49.90] Swinging in a nightgown underneath the old oak tree
[00:54.90] Almost Victorian with you, you can talk to me
[01:00.41] But, lately, I can see
[01:03.22] You wanted me sadder
[01:05.04] Baby, can't you see it? (You wanted me sadder)
[01:15.19] For me, you are the one, and if I'm not the one for you
[01:20.78] Don't you say it
[01:26.47] I was on the stairs
[01:27.85] Ella Fitzgerald in the air
[01:29.60] Feelin' hella rare
[01:31.03] Baby, if you care
[01:32.54] Baby, don't you dare say you'll braid my hair, babe
[01:37.86] Don't you dare say that you'll braid my hair, babe
[01:42.49] If you don't really care
[01:46.48] You wanted me sadder
[01:48.20] Dancing there in the hot, hot sun
[01:50.99] I know that we've got problems
[01:53.56] I plan to address them another day
[01:58.94] Palm trees in black and white
[02:01.59] I see in technicolor
[02:04.39] Maybe I'll take my glasses off, so I stop painting red flags green
[02:10.83] Lately, I've been sunning in the L.A. riverbed
[02:16.30] Wearin' nothing but the summer bruises on my knees
[02:21.17] I like how you talk, how you speak, how you look at me
[02:26.59] But, lately, I can see
[02:29.78] You wanted me sadder (baby, can't you see it?)
[02:32.29] You wanted me sadder
[02:34.74] You wanted me sadder
[02:41.91] For me, you are the one, and if I'm not the one for you
[02:47.01] Don't you say it
[02:52.79] I was on the stairs
[02:54.01] Ella Fitzgerald in the air
[02:56.12] Feelin' hella rare
[02:57.50] Baby, if you care
[02:58.93] Baby, don't you dare say you'll braid my hair
[03:02.65] See, baby, if you care, then (don't you dare say that you'll braid my hair)
[03:06.10] Baby, don't you dare say that you really care
[03:11.62] Don't you dare say that you'll braid my hair
[03:18.92] When you get home tonight
[03:21.75] If you don't really care
[03:24.92] Yeah, don't you dare say that you'll braid my hair, babe
[03:30.16] If you don't really care, see
[03:33.10] Don't you braid my hair
[03:35.49] If you're not coming home to me
[03:41.85] Ahh
[03:45.98] You want someone sadder
[03:47.69] Skippin' rope in the bayou, bayou
[03:50.55] Slip softly in terrain
[03:53.24] I'm not that smart
[03:57.34] But I've got things to say
[04:00.44]
