[Verse 1]
I, I worked as a mermaid
The only man I tried to save dragged me down
Make those tips, keep those dreams
But I'm still going to drown on the ugly side of town
[Chorus I]
Count the flies up high on the ceiling
You and I are trying to hold onto this stupid feeling
And I said "Baby, aren't you going to play me?"
Maybe time is gonna save me
Maybe time is gonna save me
[Verse 2]
He, he had a sad streak
As wide as the gap between his two front teeth
And I, well I never knew why
When I kept on swimming
He just made mе cry
[Chorus II]
Count the years that we'vе been dealing
You and I are just junkies for this stupid feeling
"Baby, aren't you going to play me?"
Maybe time is gonna save me
Maybe time is gonna save me
Maybe time is gonna save me
Oh, maybe time is gonna save me
[Outro]
Never look back, I never look back
Never look back, I never look back
Never look back, I never look back, I never look back
Never look back, I never look back, I never look back
