A Mermaid On My Wall
The Mermaid On My Wall
Arrived late, but you never came
Whats it like for you, is it the same?
I got your autograph, I got your style
I swam in you, reached for your smile
You do it everywhere
You pull me in and twist me out
Mentioned a mermaid on your wall
You think TV says it all
I kiss your back, cherish your face
We laugh out loud at eachother's taste
You do it everywhere
You pull me in and twist me out
Only in my sleeping hour
we'll stir the flame that burns in us
that buries us alive
When I return to an empty world
of wide awake
I know the breath I'll take is mine
I got your autograph, I got your style
I swam in you, reached for your smile
You do it everywhere
You pull me in and twist me out
