Swimming in the sea,

All the real cool mermaids are such a fantasy.

So tragic and so green,

Don't you wanna swim with me?

Your perfect plot device,

Oh yeah your perfect sidekick,

Your perfect, pretty wife.

You want a mermaid by your side,

But you don't know what it's like.

What does it mean to chase fever dreams

while the world seems to fall apart at the seams?

I lay awake until the dawn,

The only faith I found, was in a strangers heart.

You might have to run fast,

And you might have to hide.

Listen real good, when I tell you that you should,

Yeah it's your turn to hide.

Now empty swimming pools,

Are echoing old skateboards, and old songs.

At twenty-five was wondering,

"Is there someplace, I belong?"

Guess boys, they don't think twice,

They walk alone, yeah, they walk alone at night.

You want somebody by your side,

But you don't know what it's like.

What does it mean to chase fever dreams

while the world seems to fall apart at the seams?

Oh what does it mean to chase fever dreams, oh

What does it mean to chase fever dreams?

You might have to run fast,

And you might have to hide,

(You might have to hide)

Listen real good, when I tell you that you should boys,

It's your turn to cry

(It's your turn to cry)

Leather and lace together,

To hide my,

Shaky step, and oh I,

I need it,

I need it now,

I wanna hear it,

That holy sound.

I know this splendor,

Still in the grass.

When I lose the feeling,

I wanna get it back.

You might have to run fast,

And you might have to hide

(You might have to hide)

Listen real good when I tell you that you should boy,

It's your turn to cry.

(It's your turn to cry)

You might have to run fast,

And you might have to hide.

Listen real good when I tell you that you should boy

It's your turn to cry

(It's your turn to cry)
