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 our songs remind me of swimming,
|
But I can't swim anymore
|
|
Pull me out the water, cold and blue,
|
I open my eyes and I 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
|
