Little Earthquakes
Lyrics

 

Silent All These Years
 
Excuse me but can I be you for a while
My dog won’t bite if you sit real still
I got the anti-Christ in the kitchen yelling at me again
Yea I can hear that
Been saved again by the garbage truck
I got something to say you know but nothing comes
Yes I know what you think of me
You never shut up
Yea I can hear that but
 
What if I’m a mermaid in these jeans of his with her name still on it hey
But I don’t care cause sometimes
I said sometimes I hear my voice and it’s been here
Silent all these years
 
So you found a girl who thinks really deep thoughts
What’s so amazing about really deep thoughts
Boy you best pray that I bleed real soon
How’s that thought for you
My scream got lost in a paper cup
You think there’s a heaven where some screams have gone
I got 25 bucks and a cracker
Do you think it’s enough to get us there cause
 
What if I’m a mermaid in these jeans of his with her name still on it hey
But I don’t care cause sometimes
I said sometimes I hear my voice and it’s been here
Silent all these years
 
Years go by
Will I still be waiting for somebody else to understand
Years go by
If I’m stripped of my beauty and the orange clouds raining in my head
Years go by
Will I choke on my tears till finally there is nothing left
One more casualty
You know we’re too easy, easy, easy
 
Well I love the way we communicate
Your eyes focus on my funny lip shape
Let’s hear what you think of me now but baby don’t look up
The sky is falling
Your Mother shows up in a nasty dress
It’s your turn now to stand where I stand
Everybody looking at you
Here take hold of my hand
Yea I can hear them but
 
What if I’m a mermaid in these jeans of yours with her name still on it hey
But I don’t care cause sometimes
I said sometimes I hear my voice
I hear my voice
I hear my voice and it’s been here
Silent all these years
I’ve been here silent all these years
Silent all these years
Silent all these years
