In my past life I was a mermaid
I would sit on the rocks and watch the horizon
One day a ship crashed all the men drowned
And they sank to the bottom beside my house
I buried them beneath the sand
And they rose up, rose up and floated back to land
Except for one man
He swam
But now I can't afford a car
I wouldn't make it as a student in college
But now I gotta find a job
And put an ID in my wallet
But girl you're bringing me down
Down to the bottom
You got your claws wrapped around me
Now youre swinging this blade
As the flame brushes past your face
No, I don't wanna be the cause of your disbelief
But you know the routine, its not you its me
Theres a million other fish that swim in the sea
So, why waste your time waiting
I wouldn't make it as a student in college
But now I gotta find a job
To put an ID in my wallet
Cause girl you're bringing me down
Down to the bottom
You got your claws wrapped around me
Now you're swinging this blade
As the flame brushes past your face
I've gotta find a job
I wouldn't make it as a student in college
As the blade rushes past your face
