Mermaids

I wanna' go back
To when I thought maybe mermaids exist
When I was just a little kid
And spiders were the worst thing I could think of
I wanna go back
To when I thought love would always be enough
And nothing could be as rough as skinning my knee

Before I knew little girls grew up to think they're never enough
And little boys grow up thinking they're too much
And everyone grows up to hate each other 'cause they disagree
Before I knew you and I might not be meant to be

I wanna' go back
To when I thought my bad dreams would never come true
And the people that you trust
Would always help you
I wanna' go back
To when magic wasn't a trick
And the fear wasn't quite as big as the hope was

Before I knew little girls grew up to think they're never enough
And little boys grow up thinking they're too much
And everyone grows up to hate each other 'cause they disagree
Before I knew you and I might not be meant to be

And maybe we all just want the same
To just stop feeling the same kind of pain
Just to go back to the happier times
When everything felt all right
And our ignorance was as blissful as it gets
Back to when mermaids just swam a little deeper than fish
