When I was a little girl
I wanted to be a mermaid
To have a tail as bright
As the dream itself
To swim as deep as
My ignorant heart wanted
Deep enough to see the
unseeable
Deep enough to reach the
unreachable
To be able to find all the lost pieces
Of someone else's heart
Deep enough to find someone to
Find mine.
When I was a little girl
I saw a mermaid
Her tail the perfect shade of blue
A perfect match.
She swam as deep
As her beating heart wanted
Washed deep into the waters
Deep enough not to return
Never again
Never again
I saw the mermaid with a tail
The perfect shade of blue
I thought about her everyday
Everyday spent with too much land
Did she find all her pieces?
Did someone find hers?
I sat wondering
Dreaming
Looking out on the place
She decied to dive
Water calm and beautiful
But only surface deep
When I was a little girl
I became a mermaid
A tail the shade of possibilities
A beautiful deep red
A dream came true
Forever I swam just on top
On top of the world
Then one day I decide
Decided to swim
As deep
as my tiny heart wanted
I fell in love.
With the water and mystery
With him.
I never once consider going back
I was in love
And it was the best feeling in the
World
For once
I was my own fairytail
I swam in the pages of myth
Hoping to never be rewritten
I swam so far into
My day dreams
Of his kisses and voice
Like silk
So far
I couldn't see
Couldn't see
The exhaustion
That came with holding your
Breath for so long
The arguments that seem to
Never end
I forgot where they started
But I still swam farther
Committed into
Seriousness
I knew his every move
And he new mine
Pieces found
With no more hidding spots
No mystery to love
No reason not to
With every dive
Thoughts of the surface
And those gaints waves
Came flooding back
Just like that mermaid
Never did
I started to drown
In memories of love
And
breathe love made of memories
Head over heels
Love a little too deep
Far to deep to go back
Far to deep to start over
Far to deep to waste time
Far to deep to not stay
When I was a little girl
I fell in love
Completely in love
A dream come true
When I was a little girl
I swam too deep
And was to afraid to ever swim back.
