Can you hear the ocean?
Can you sing the sea foam?
Here’s what I have to say to you, now
And I’m kinda regretting the words
I haven’t yet spoken

Everything you said to me,
You wished you’d said to her
And what you said was a ploy
Tell me this, now
Am I your Barbie doll?
Everything I felt for you
I wish I felt for someone else
I’m intelligent
And I know when it’s not worth it
And it’s not worth it

Promise me one thing
You will not lie
But I can’t promise you
The same
When you ask me if it’s real
I’m going to cross my fingers, and tell you
No way, no how, it’s a lie
And it’ll be a lie…

Everything you sang to me
You wished you’d sung to her
And what you sang was a game
Tell me this, now
Am I your Treble Clef?
Everything I played for you
I wish I’d played for someone else
I’m intelligent
And I know when it’s not worth it
And it’s not worth it

Every time you looked at me
You wished you’d looked at her
And every time I held you close
I wished I’d pushed you far
Is it too much to ask;
That time itself is forced back?
