Midnight Swim

Incubus · Monuments & Melodies [2009]

A midnight swim

Is what I'm needing

A careless will

A fast for feeding



Chorus

I take to the deep

Where the lights been til now

Gotta break out and find

What the day left behind



So into blue

Begin an ark

The man was you

True and spark oh



Chorus

I take to the deep

Where the lights been til now, safe

Gotta break and out and find

What the day left behind



Noww

No No Noooo

Whoa no no no

Whooa no no noo

Whoaa ahh



Water and salt

Secrets like new

Arrive salt

A midnight swim



Chorus

I take to the deep

Where the lights, until now, asleep

Gotta break in and find

What the day left behind



Noow

No no noohh

Whoaa

No No Noo

Whaahhoaa

No Noooooooo

Whoah

aha
