The Mermaid & Me (Runner-Up Collection)

Hold your breath . (Hold your breath) Hold your breath. Dive in. Moved to the edge of the lonely earth Where the salt hits the rocks and the waves give birth To a strange new magic, wild and free You reached out a finger and pointed at the sea. No air in my lungs, but I’m breathing fine (breathing fine) We crossed over the border, we crossed the boundary (crossed over!). We are racing through the deep! (through the deep!) Where the ocean monarchs keep Every pearl, every jewel, We are breaking every rule! (breaking out!) Tridents flashing in the dark Swimming fast like a hungry shark The King sent his army, let them chase! It is only the mermaid and me in this space! Crystal spires reaching for the ocean roof Everything I see is the shining proof That magic lives beneath the pulling tide (pulling tide) I have nothing left to hide. Your kingdom is a maze of crystal stone But the royal guards won't leave us alone.(no!) Armor heavy, swimming fast How long can this fever last? They hunt us. (hunt us) They want us. (want us) But they can't catch a wave. Monarch of the water with an angry frown Sending all his soldiers to track us Down (track us down) Spears are cutting through the heavy blue But my focus stays right on you. Leave the barren island far behind (so far behind) A brand new galaxy for us to find. Currents pushing, pulling, dragging them back! We are thriving under the attack. They swim with the metal, we swim with the raw Breaking the ancient underwater law. Don't breathe, just feel! This fantasy is real! The monarch commands with a heavy fist But we are fading in the ocean mist! We are racing through the deep! (through the deep!) Where the ocean monarchs keep Every pearl, every jewel, We are breaking every rule! (breaking every rule!) Tridents flashing in the dark Swimming fast like a hungry shark The King sent his army, let them chase! It is only the mermaid and me in this space! (just you and me!) Far from the dry earth. Safe in the deep (safe). Let the angry King weep. Hold your breath. We are free. Just the mermaid and me. ---------------------------------------------------------------- © BEAT 2026 All rights reserved. This lyrics is protected by copyright.
