Nicotine breath, smell of regret
Through the front fence and up the side steps
I wish that I knew back then
That we would become past tense
The sound of the trees, bringing back dreams
Wrapped in white sheets, planning our scenes
I wish that I knew back then
That this was all make believe
I thought I'd name my children after you
We'd live in a house on Mermaid Avenue
And we'd drink champagne and admire the view
The last thing I'd say before sleeping is "I love you"
Feels like last week, salt on our cheeks
Gentle we speak, promise we keep
All of the lies we said
I'd say them all over again
I thought I'd name my children after you
We'd live in a house on Mermaid Avenue
And we'd drink champagne and admire the view
The last thing I'd say before sleeping is "I love you"
Maybe it's for the better
We only lived there in our dreams
That way we'd stay forever, happy on our street
Maybe it's for the better
We only lived there in our dreams
That way we'd stay forever, happy on our street
I thought I'd name my children after you
We'd live in a house on Mermaid Avenue
And we'd drink champagne and admire the view
The last thing I'd say before sleeping is "I love you"
(On Mermaid, on Mermaid)
(Avenue, Avenue)
(On Mermaid, on Mermaid)
The last thing I'd say before sleeping is "I love you"
(On Mermaid, on Mermaid)
(Avenue, Avenue) On Mermaid Avenue
(On Mermaid, on Mermaid)
(Avenue, Avenue)
(On Mermaid, on Mermaid)
(Avenue, Avenue)
(On Mermaid, on Mermaid)
