Mermaid Beach

(album: At Least I'm Free - 2022)

The bells ring in the casinos where I grew up
Not even the punters had their luck
Reminds me I'm thankful for what I'm not
That I should be careful with who I trust
That I should be careful with who I love

The flags wave on the coast of mermaid beach
Why'd all the goods ones have to leave?
Reminds me the tourists only stay
From the pollution in the break
All of the hotels washed away

This town will eat me up
That's why I'm leaving now
Pass my ex-boyfriend's house
I don't tell him anything
But I've never been so sad in my life
But I've never danced so much

The bells ring in the casinos where I grew up
I'm watching the family fall apart
Reminds me I'm thankful for what I've got
That I should be careful with who I love

This town will eat me up
That's why I'm leaving now
That's my ex-boyfriend's house
I don't tell him anything
But I've never been so sad in my life
But I've never danced so much
I've never been so high in my life
But I've never cried so much

I've never been so sad
But I've never danced so much
