The mermaid

I tell stories of you
I have dreams of you
No-one believes you exist
A fantasy girl I've made up
Like characters in my book
I reminisce on the nights
When you got wetter then water for me
I have your songs in my phone
Your voice warms my heart
On the coldest new York nights
Have you found your Persian yet?
Am I the only one holding on
With hopes of our purity in track
I needed to be isolated to grow
You needed to let me go
To triple my worth

Am I crazy or are you for me?
I've never lied
I'm still sitting under the sycamore tree
While girls past and go
I've got no interest in their show
I'm standing stronger then a statue
My finances are looking like my confidence
My soul feels alive burning
With a fire
My heart is storming with love

If my commitment to return
Worst then a Sith Lord
Well there be a chance for me
In your new republic
Will you feel confident getting in my car
Letting me show you a new world
Driving into the darkness
You call an abyss
I've never been so committed
To such a challenge
Love isn't a fairy tale
It's a journey into a lost world
Will you take it with me

Are the tales I've told
Only pipe dreams
Of a fantasy woman
Or are they true tales
A slide down the rabbit hole
From science fiction
Addicted to hunting a myth
I'll proclaim to everyone exist

Hold on

If life was a track race
I'd be Jackie Joyner
I've always ran when
The pressure was on
Cracking like an egg under the weight
My grandmother always told me
Pressure busts pipes
My house must be flooded
There is a light at the end of the tunnel
Build up the stamina to finish the race
Stand face to face with the demons
Your vices might kick your ass
Even Tyson went down in a fight

Hold on hold firm
I'll be the hand that reaches into the abyss
I'm far from perfect
Yet working on it
Step by step and we'll soon be running
No pun intended
I use to think I didn't have it like that
Like I was average like that
Now I see the future is brighter
Then the Rockefeller Christmas tree
Get in the car and let my drive
Jesus got the wheel
Our destinations already mapped out
