just...
excuse me, but can I be you for a while?
my dog wont 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 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 dont care, cause sometimes, I said sometimes
I hear my voice and its been here
silent all these years
so you found a girl who thinks really deep thoughts
whats 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 twenty-five bucks and a cracker, do you think its 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 dont care, cause sometimes, I said sometimes
I hear my voice and its 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 cloud 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 we communicate
your eyes focus on my funny lip shade
Lets hear what you think of me now, but baby - dont 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 looking at you... here, take a 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 dont care, cause sometimes, I said sometimes
I hear my voice
I hear my voice
I hear my voice
and its been here
silent all these years
