Mermaid Song

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I am a mermaid that you dreamt

Swimming away while you slept

4th of July, kicks of fear

Baby, we had a nice time

But I can't really breathe up here

You pulled me up to your bedroom

I fell in love, I fell in love too soon

I don't know the intention of your heart

I don't know why it's been scary from the start

And I don't know how you don't know how to apologize

So I'll be almost to the ocean when you open your eyes

I'm swimming away

What's the point of California if we don't go to the beach?

What's the point of being friends

While we're both so hard to reach?

What's the point of all the midnight

Text messages you send?

I can't help but breaking

Half each time you asked me to bend

I can't help but unravel when you pull out a thread

I just lose my mind when you mess with my head

And I will always throw attention

If you throw me just a bone

I'm not your puppy, I'm a famous fish

I'd rather swim alone

You pulled me up to your bedroom

I fell in love, I fell in love too soon

I don't know the intention of your heart

I don't know why it's been scary from the start

And I don't know how you don't know how to apologize

So I'll be almost to the ocean when you open your eyes

I'm swimming away

I'm swimming away

I'm swimming away

I'm swimming away

I'm swimming away

I'm swimming away

I am a mermaid that you dreamt

Swimming away while you slept

4th of July, kicks of fear

Baby, we had a nice time

But I can't really breathe up here
