If I Were Mercury (Radio Edit) Lyrics

Been drinking on the east side

Been drinking on the west side

Slept under the Hollywood sign and all I can do

Drown in my sorrows

Try again tomorrow

Only time will clear this static electricity

If I were Mercury

I'd be in retrograde

Let's just go backward

Faster and faster, before I forget

Of all the galaxies

That I find you here with me

Heightens this moment, you pull me in close

For once, I believe

Been sleeping on the left side

Been sleeping on the right

I know now is not the time to say all I need to

Busy in a dark mind

Running through each lifeline

Tired of listening in the night for sounds of violence

If I were Mercury

I'd be in retrograde

Let's just go backward

Faster and faster, before I forget

Of all the galaxies

That I find you here with me

Heightens this moment, you pull me in close

For once, I believe

Oh, this constant interference

Doesn't care about your feelings

Doesn't even care about what you've been wishing

We could meet and talk it over

I'd say the wrong things, touch your shoulder

You'd pull away and I'd spin out to space

If I were Mercury

And I were in retrograde

I'd just go backward

Faster and faster to the beginning

Of all the galaxies

That I find you here with me

Heightens this moment, you pull me in close

For once, I believe

Take me back

Take me back, take me back

Take me back

If I were Mercury

I'd be in retrograde

Let's just go backward

Faster and faster to the beginning

Of all the galaxies

That I find you here with me

Heightens this moment, you pull me in close

For once, I believe

Take me back

Take me back

Take me back

Take me back

Take me back

Take me back

Take me back

Take me back
