Mermaid Tears

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I, I worked as a mermaid The only man I tried to save dragged me down Make those tips, keep those dreams But I'm still gonna drown on the ugly side of town [Chorus I] Count the flies up high on the ceiling You and I are trying to hold on to this stupid feeling And I said, "Baby, are you gonna play me?" Maybe time is gonna save me Maybe time is gonna save me [Verse 2] He, he had a sad streak As wide as the gap between his two front teeth And I, well, I never knew why When I kept on swimming, he just made me cry [Chorus II] Count the years that we've been dealing You and I are just junkies for this stupid feeling And I said, "Baby, aren't you gonna play me?" Maybe time is gonna save me Maybe time is gonna save me Maybe time is gonna save me Maybe time is gonna save me [Outro] Never look back, I never look back Never look back, I never look back Never look back, I never look back Never look back, I never look back
