excuse me but can i be you for a while
yeah i can hear that
i got something to say you know but nothing comes
yes i know what you think of me you never shut up
yeah i can hear that

but what if i'm a mermaid
in these jeans of his with her name still on it
hey but i don't care
cause sometimes i said sometimes i hear my voice and it's been
here
silent all these years


years go by will i still be waiting
for somebody else to understand
years go by if i'm stripped of my beauty
and the orange clouds raining in my head
years go by will i choke on my tears
till finally there is nothing left
one more casualty
you know we're too
easy
well i love the way we communicate
your eyes focus on my funny lip shape
let's hear what you think of me now
but baby don't look up
the sky is falling

it's your turn now to stand where i stand
everybody lookin' at you
here take hold of my hand
yeah i can hear them

but what if i'm a mermaid
