Excuse me but can I be you for a while

My DOG won't bite if you sit real still

I got the anti-Christ in the kitchen yellin' at me again

Yeah I can hear that



Been saved again by the garbage truck

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



So you found a girl who thinks really deep thoughts

What's so amazing about really deep thoughts

Boy you best pray that I bleed real soon

How's that thought for you



My scream got lost in a paper cup

You think there's a heaven where some screams have gone

I got 25 bucks and a cracker do you think it's enough

To get us there



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 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 to EASY easy 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



Your MOTHER shows up in a nasty dress

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

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

I hear my voice

I hear my voice

And it's been HERE silent all these years

I've been here silent all these years

Silent all these

Silent all these years
