Where the air is clean I can be alone, with you Stretch my legs out over miles of wild woods Let my hips sway and my hair fall down my back Free to be a spirit to the fullest extent of this world Tree trunk drums beat with a rhythm I learn to follow Fresh air sweeps over my skin and blows into my lungs Crisp and clean the highest leaves of the forest ceiling Untouched by anything but sunlight and floating songs We took no boat or train, but here we are somehow For a mermaid to tell you to make a wish on a sea shell, and throw it into the sea Leading it down to the ocean floor where it can live forever Changing green and blue while the sky burns red and orange So we kiss in front of the sunset Our face's silhouette large as the burning bulb over the horizon I would not care if the water washed over my feet and the rocks came out from beneath me Everything is perfect here with you.

Mermaid
Where the air is clean I can be alone, with you Stretch my legs out over miles of wild woods Let my hips sway and my hair fall down my back Free to be a spirit to the fullest extent of this world Tree trunk drums beat with a rhythm I learn to follow Fresh air sweeps over my skin and blows into my lungs Crisp and clean the highest leaves of the forest ceiling Untouched by anything but sunlight and floating songs We took no boat or train, but here we are somehow For a mermaid to tell you to make a wish on a sea shell, and throw it into the sea Leading it down to the ocean floor where it can live forever Changing green and blue while the sky burns red and orange So we kiss in front of the sunset Our face's silhouette large as the burning bulb over the horizon I would not care if the water washed over my feet and the rocks came out from beneath me Everything is perfect here with you.
