excuse me but can i be here for awhile
my dog won't bite if you sit real still
i got the antichrist in the kitchen yelling 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 yours with her name still on them
hey but i don't care cause 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'd best pray that i bleed real soon
(how's that thought for you)
my scream got lost in a paper cup
i think there's a heaven where some sreams have gone
i got 25 bucks and a cracker do you think it's enough
to get us there

cause what if i'm a mermaid in these jeans of yours with her name still on them
hey but i don't care cause 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 hand
years go by will i choke on my tears till finally there's nothing left
one more casualty you know we're too 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
and it's your turn now to stand where i stand
everybody looking at you
here take hold of my hand
yeah i can hear them

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

silent all these

silent all these years
