Mermaid Avenue
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.
Nicotine breath
Smell of regret
Through the front fence
And up the side steps
I wish that I knew back then
That we would become past tense
The sound of the trees
Bringing back dreams
Wrapped in white sheets
Planning our scenes
I wish that I knew back then
That this was all make believe
I thought I'd name my children after you
We'd live in a house on mermaid avenue
And we'd drink champagne and admire the view
The last thing I'd say before sleeping is
I love you
Feels like last week
Salt on our cheeks
Gentle we speak
Promise we keep
All of the lies we said
I'd say them all over again
I thought I'd name my children after you
We'd live in a house on mermaid avenue
And we'd drink champagne and admire the view
The last thing I'd say before sleeping is
I love you
Maybe it's for the better
We only lived there in our dreams
That way we'd stay forever
Happy on our street
Maybe it's for the better
We only lived there in our dreams
That way we'd stay forever
Happy on our street
I thought I'd name my children after you
We'd live in a house on mermaid avenue
And we'd drink champagne and admire the view
The last thing I'd say before sleeping is
I love you
On mermaid, on mermaid
Avenue, avenue
On mermaid, on mermaid
Avenue, avenue (the last thing I'd say before sleeping is)
(I love you)
On mermaid, on mermaid
Avenue, avenue (on mermaid avenue)
On mermaid, on mermaid
Avenue, avenue
On mermaid, on mermaid
Avenue, avenue
On mermaid, on mermaid
