i think i might have saw a mermaid
and she's so perfect in the worst way
i was skipping stones on the lake
my mum told me not to be home late
i told her i was early for tomorrow
all i needed was a treasure map i could follow
and i would be there in the morning
as the fog lifted and the sun brought the warm in
i would catch the night when it fell
and only listen to the inside of a sea shell
there were icicles on the branches
and silence when then night is at it's calmest
i would lie down among the grasses
with the juice seeping through my pyjamas
and i would take advice from the moon
and he always told em the same thing too
always watching over you smiling
just look up and gaze at me
i think i might have saw dark clouds
when it rains cup my chest
i mad a raft that i floated to the ocean on
i dug a hole and i slept through a snow storm
cause i remember when you were naked next to me
you definitely had me open like sesame
but we aren't the same and we just can't pretend to be
if i am spinning a globe on my finger
tryna' get warm to the bone before winter
but lately her wind doesn't shake me
i'm still warm from the thrill of escaping
i took the road to far away
but i couldn't breathe so i had to come back to stay
and i will take advice from the moon
and i hope that he tells me the same thing too
i think i might have saw eternity
he told me that he didn't have a girl for me
he sat me down and told me life is regret
i knew it in my heart but i was trying to deny it
i could fill up a cup from all the times that i wept
and fill up an arena with the lies that i made
i sat in the dirt tryna' turn into a fossil
caught my reflection in the still water
saw a stranger looking up at me in real horror
but i found solace in his pain
so i went and found the kingdom in the grey skies
exhale my stresses into the evening
i was so relieved when i finally created ending
i went and took advice from the moon
and he told me the same thing he always does too
