"Self-loathing is quaint,"
you told me, showing restraint.
Now you're gone and I'm lost, in the swells I am tossed
bobbing and choking and losing the fight in the fog.
You said, "Forever..."
Tell me, why can't you stay?
[Chorus:]
I'd ride in your pocket all day, but I just don't fit
Say the word and I'll change, I'm throwin' a party
tonight, I drink more than a sailor on shore
Pour the rum in my eyes, tell me lies.
Oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh-oh-oh
Drunk since Saturday
without you, without restraint.
It sill stings where you stung, water swings in my lungs
I'm starving for words that would ration my sadness away.
Tell me, "Forever..."
Tell me you'll come back to stay.
[Repeat Chorus]
You were the mermaid for me
'til one day you found your feet
leaving me
in this god-awful bottle, a model of heartache and grief.
[Repeat Chorus]
you told me, showing restraint.
Now you're gone and I'm lost, in the swells I am tossed
bobbing and choking and losing the fight in the fog.
You said, "Forever..."
Tell me, why can't you stay?
[Chorus:]
I'd ride in your pocket all day, but I just don't fit
Say the word and I'll change, I'm throwin' a party
tonight, I drink more than a sailor on shore
Pour the rum in my eyes, tell me lies.
Oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh-oh-oh
Drunk since Saturday
without you, without restraint.
It sill stings where you stung, water swings in my lungs
I'm starving for words that would ration my sadness away.
Tell me, "Forever..."
Tell me you'll come back to stay.
[Repeat Chorus]
You were the mermaid for me
'til one day you found your feet
leaving me
in this god-awful bottle, a model of heartache and grief.
[Repeat Chorus]
