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
