Unrealized

There was a man from mermaid land
Who crawled up from the sea
He caught a train in the pouring rain
And sailed away from me

Upon the tide of his train ride
He sensed he needed air
Funny how the things we need recede
And vanish as if we don’t care

Chorus
Is it getting better,
Or is it still the same?
How’s that Scarlet letter,
Are you on the same damn train?

There was a man from mermaid land
Who gave up way too soon
He had all the bells and whistles
But he preferred the silver spoon

Upon the tide of his train ride
He drifted back to sleep
A life of dreams unrealized
Regret was his to keep

Chorus
Is it getting better,
Or is it still the same?
How’s that Scarlet letter,
Are you on the same damn train

Repeat
