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 twenty-five bucks an' a cracker Do you think it's 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 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 'til, 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 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 Hmm, it's your turn now to stand where I stand Everybody lookin' at you, here taken hold of my hand Yeah, I can hear them But what if I'm a mermaid in these jeans of yours 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.
