"MERMAID" lyrics

I hear them screaming down in the hallway
Mommy why are you shouting that loud?
Grew up thinking that this is what love is
When the place that you hate you call home

Blanket forts and pillow fights
Monsters creeping up at night
You may call them friends
Air guitar and bucket drums
And all you wished was to belong
In a world you don't understand

If I had a time machine
I would be a friend to me

Your life in boxes packed on the backseat
Still in denial it ended so mean
Proved me right that this is what love is
When everyone you care about leaves

Withered roses, quiet nights
Your heart may break a million times
Replaying these fights
Love is a two-sided knife
No one makes it out alive
Without tears of goodbye

If I had a time machine
I'd questioned twice who's right for me

Sadness like the ocean tide
Every tear was worth to cry
Mermaids never drown

I don't need a time machine
Cause everything was meant to be
