Silent all these years

Excuse me, but can I be you for a while?
My dog won't bite if you sit real still
I've got the anti-christ in the kitchen yelling at me again
Ya I can hear that

I'm saved again by the garbage truck
I've got something to say
You know but nothing comes
Yes I know what you think of me
Never shut up
Ya I can hear that

What if I'm a mermaid
In these jeans of his with her name still on it
Hey but I don't care
Cos 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
I think that's a heaven where some screams have gone
I've got 25 bucks and a cracker
Do you think it's enough
To get us there?

Cos what if I'm a mermaid
In these jeans of his with her name still on it
Hey but I don't care
Cos sometimes I said sometimes
I hear my voice
And it's 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 coats raining in my hand
Years go by
Will I choke on my tears till finally there is nothing left?
One more casualty you know
We are too 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 shows up in a nasty dress
It's your turn now to stand where I stand
Everybody looking at you
Take a look at my hand
Ya I can hear that

What if I'm a mermaid
In these jeans of yours with her name still on it
Hey but I don't care
Cos 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 years
Silent all these years
