lyrics

Mermaids swimming in the deep green blue
They don't look half as good as you do
In your yellow sweater in the streetlamp glow
You got your gypsy ride and a place to go

Mountains and moons crumble out of your heart
Its paper-mache where the universe starts
You're in a quiet place, every moment's colliding
You tell me your still learning how to live inside them
Your still learning how to live inside them

Oh my soul I see your face
Oh my soul's in a quiet place
Oh my soul's in a quiet place

Sometimes I'm scared to say something wrong
So I had it all away until it grows into a song
A long time ago at the coffee shop you
Told me the rarest color in nature was blue
If I could paint with the sky I'd just wanna show you

Oh my soul I see your face
Oh my soul's in a quiet place
Oh my soul's in a quiet place

It's phosphorescent at the bottom of the sea
Don't let my dreams die in tragedy

Mermaids swimming where it's void of light
They don't look as good as you do tonight
Hopkins Street is empty to hear you sing
While we got right now, tell me anything
I was just making the block, tell me anything
I just wanna hear you talk, tell me anything
