lyrics

is there someone else you'd rather be?
all my love is safe and warm at home.
trying simple since I saw you last
take the middle little mermaid, don't go too fast.

town full of moisture,
cry about it everyday,
rain makes my rice grow
love is the answer,
the only thing i've ever asked for
and your mother sings

you told me time was like a river
smoothing stones shes such a giver
lately it feels a different way
still water, waiting like a lake
don't dream, erase.

is everything just a reaction
like mountain gods you're over active
replace my days with memories,
maybe i'll find a better me
don't dream, erase.

dream, erase
it's raining harder than the old days.
all my love is safe for you at home,
trade your fins for legs or turn to sea foam
the clouds will part and you'll know you've been known
your ivy eyes were never dry
i love your lips, even when they lie
if you're never on your own
could you ever be mine?
