3039 - Mermaid In My Bed (psychedelic funk)

[Verse 1] You walked out of the water Salt on your lashes Laughing at the wind Hair tangled up with seaweed Like you’d slept in a storm and finally woke You said “Feels strange to be drying” Dripping on the sand Leaving tiny moons I held out my old sweatshirt You wore it like armor Like a crown [Chorus] You’re a mermaid in my bed Tasting air instead of tides Learning how the ceiling Can be bigger than the sky You’re a mermaid in my bed Still smelling like the deep You said “I want a world Where my heart can finally breathe” [Verse 2] Coffee on your tongue now You make a face “It’s bitter But it’s nice” You’re tracing maps on my carpet Like you’re hunting for currents in the threads Asking “Do your dreams feel heavy?” Mine are light They float They pull me back I dreamed you into this room Now you’re stealing all the blankets from the past [Chorus] You’re a mermaid in my bed Tasting air instead of tides Learning how the ceiling Can be bigger than the sky You’re a mermaid in my bed Still smelling like the deep You said “I want a world Where my heart can finally breathe”
