lyrics

what’s the time again?
where’s the line drawn again?
in the sands of time
following the fall
we built this wall
so we couldn’t find you
was it too tall?
‘cause now we’ve lost you

a tale as old as time itself or maybe a little more
we found a crying body losing blood along the shore
took her in and pumped out the saltwater
got her back in a few days
but with depths that deep was she too far gone to stay awake?
with depths that deep was it too much for this maid to take?

the rain brought you in and let you sleep
miles above the darkest deep
letting you breathe for the first time
above the surface on warm summer sand
and you got up with your long blue hair
and everyone began to stare
at this mermaid something from the sea
and suddenly you looked at me

that's when everything else turned blue
and the only thing i could see was you
and we started floating
that's when everything went black
when i couldn't really look back
and you made sure i'd be going with you
i’m so sorry about last night
pulling the cables in a water fight
i'm sorry i tried to hurt you
is there time to make this right?
what happened to all the light?
please don't make me drown tonight
