Butch Walker - Mermaid lyrics

[Into] Whoa, whoa [Verse 1] Can't swim so I took a boat To an island so remote Only Johnny Depp has ever been to it before Stayed there 'til the air was clear I was bored and out of tears Then I saw you washed up on the shore I offered you my coat Thank goddess love can float Crazy how that shipwreck meant my ship was coming in We talked 'til the sun went down Love on the Puget Sound My treasure map was on your skin [Chorus] Beauty in the water Angel on the beach Ocean's daughter I thought love was out of reach Until I got her Had I known it could come true? I would have wished in '92 For a mermaid just like you, whoa Just like you, whoa [Verse 2] Sharks green with envy, they wonder what you see in me Funny but sometimes can't help but wonder that as well Now life is a holiday, making up for the years I paid The way to this heavenly bay it went through hell [Chorus] Beauty in the water Angel on the beach Ocean's daughter I thought love was out of reach Until I got her Had I known it could come true? I would have wished in '92 For a mermaid just like you, whoa Just like you, whoa [Bridge] Rescued you by the banyan tree All the girlfish in the sea Couldn't hold a candle to you They don't have a handle on you They don't have a scandal on you I love Ecco sandals on you Saving me was b-i-g All the boyfish in the sea They all wish that they could be me Can't swim so I took a boat To an island so remote Only Johnny Depp has ever been to it before [Chorus] Beauty in the water Angel on the beach Ocean's daughter I thought love was out of reach Until I got her Had I known it could come true? I would have wished in '92 For a mermaid just like you, whoa Just like you, whoa [Outro] Just like you, whoa Just like you, whoa
