[Verse 1] When I met you it was like unveiling a new mural Of two lovers eating cake That came fresh from the urinal And smiling through the awkward And hope it doesn’t last too long And Cringing at the thought That you consider this our song. When I met you it was like Petting a precious puppy That leaves a present in my shoe What are the chances? Feeling lucky And counting all the stars I thought they used to give a wish I guess that’s only when they leave you I just add them to the list. [Pre-Chorus] I can’t afford the gear to climb Mount Mole Hill for a third time. [Chorus] Selling eggshells on the sea shore Cuz I can’t walk on the sea. Can’t lead a horse to drink the water When he’s the one that’s leading me. Spent my whole life getting fishes But never learned to throw the line Was told there’s plenty out there. Just have to look. Who has the time? Put my money where my mouth is But I don’t have any today Besides, if I did My mouth keeps running away. [Verse 2] You first saw me at my lowest On the day that we first met When the waiter spilled the coffee When I asked him for the check You laughed your crooked smile Eyes glistened with the tears Of your side splitting laughter As you joined in the diners cheers. They gave us a “sorry” coupon Said the next time we dine for free. I guess the lukewarm strangers coffee’s Not all that got dumped on me. [Pre-Chorus] Scuba dive down to the depths For an excuse. Give it some rest. [Chorus] Selling eggshells on the sea shore Cuz I can’t walk on the sea. Can’t lead a horse to drink the water When he’s the one that’s leading me. Spent my whole life getting fishes But never learned to throw the line Was told there’s plenty out there. Just have to look. Who has the time? Put my money where my mouth is But I don’t have any today Besides, if I did My mouth keeps running away. [Bridge] The prince slays the dragon Frees the princess from its lair. Grants her all this freedom For her to leave him standing there He’s told that “If he loves her Then he needs to let her go.” If she comes back then she loves you If she doesn’t, then you’ll know That it wasn’t meant to be… That doesn’t seem fair to me!!! [Chorus] Selling eggshells on the sea shore Cuz I can’t walk on the sea. Can’t lead a horse to drink the water When he’s the one that’s leading me. Spent my whole life getting fishes But never learned to throw the line Was told there’s plenty out there. Just have to look. Who has the time? Put my money where my mouth is But I don’t have any today Besides, if I did My mouth keeps running away. [Final Chorus- Outro] Selling eggshells on the sea shore Cuz I can’t walk on the sea. Can’t lead a horse to drink the water When he’s the one that’s leading me. Spent my whole life getting fishes But never learned to throw the line Was told there’s plenty out there. Just have to look. Who has the time? Put my money where my mouth is But I don’t have any today Besides, if I did My mouth keeps running away. [Outro] Puppies are supposed to be cute. Love’s not supposed to hurt.
