People ask me,
What I miss the most
I miss the sea...
Walked into a tropical fish store last week,
And it hit me
The salt in my nose
Breathe deep, hold onto it...
It was like home,
Like high tide, white caps, seaweed
Breathe deep...
Sometimes I swear it's in my blood
The color of a red tide,
Platelets like jellyfish
I used to wish...
If I were a mermaid,
I could just escape
Breathe deep, don't let it go...
Some may think me crazy,
Loving it so,
The stench of tide flats
No, the smell of home,
Home...
My heart aches and strains to grasp it,
To wrap around the salt smell
Breathe deep...
It must be part of me,
These tears taste like salt
Like home
Breathe deep...
But I'm just alone,
Standing in a fish shop.
What I miss the most
I miss the sea...
Walked into a tropical fish store last week,
And it hit me
The salt in my nose
Breathe deep, hold onto it...
It was like home,
Like high tide, white caps, seaweed
Breathe deep...
Sometimes I swear it's in my blood
The color of a red tide,
Platelets like jellyfish

If I were a mermaid,
I could just escape
Breathe deep, don't let it go...
Some may think me crazy,
Loving it so,
The stench of tide flats
No, the smell of home,
Home...
My heart aches and strains to grasp it,
To wrap around the salt smell
Breathe deep...
It must be part of me,
These tears taste like salt
Like home
Breathe deep...
But I'm just alone,
Standing in a fish shop.
