Swimming

Your songs remind me of swimming

Which I forgot when I started to sink

Dragged further away from the shore

And deeper into the drink.

Sat on the bottom of the ocean

A stern and stubborn rock

'Cause your songs remind me of swimming

But somehow I forgot.

I was sinking and now I'm sunk

I was drinking and now I'm drunk

Your songs remind me of swimming

But somehow I forgot.

I tried to remember the chorus

I can't remember the verse

'Cause that song that sent me swimming

Is now the life jacket that burst.

Rotting like a wreck on the ocean floor

Sinking like a siren that can't swim anymore

'Cause your songs remind me of swimming

But I can't swim anymore.

Pull me out the water, cold and blue

I open my eyes and see that it's you

So I dive straight back in the ocean

So I dive straight back in the ocean.

Take a deep breath, suck the water in my chest

Take a deep breath, suck the water in my chest

Cross my fingers and hope for the best

Then all of a sudden, I heard a note

It started in my chest and ended in my throat

Then I realized, then I realized

Then I realized I was swimming

Yes I was swimming

And now I'm swimming

Yes I am swimming

Your songs remind me of swimming

Which I forgot when I started to sink

Your songs remind me of swimming

Which I forgot when I started to sink

Oh, your songs remind me of swimming

Which I forgot when I started

Your songs remind me of swimming

Which I forgot when I started

To sink
