[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 gonna drown on the ugly side of town
[Chorus I]
Count the flies up high on the ceiling
You and I are trying to hold on to this stupid feeling
And I said, "Baby, are you gonna 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 me cry
[Chorus II]
Count the years that we've been dealing
You and I are just junkies for this stupid feeling
And I said, "Baby, aren't you gonna play me?"
Maybe time is gonna save me
Maybe time is gonna save me
Maybe time is gonna save me
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
Never look back, I never look back
