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 my 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
'Cause 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 show's 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 yours 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
