Swimming

Your songs remind me of swimming,

Which I forgot when I started to sink

Drank 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, now I'm sunk

And I was drinking, 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

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 I see that it's you,

So I'll dive straight back in the ocean

Yes, I'll go 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,

And 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
