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 [bad word] 
I got something to say you know but [bad word] 
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 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 

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 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 too 
Easy 
Easy 
Easy 

Well I love the way [bad word] 
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 
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 his 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
