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 |
| Cos 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 |
| I was sinking, now I’m sunk, |
| And I was drinking, now I’m drunk |
| I tried to remember the chorus, |
| I can’t remember the verse |
| Cos 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 no more |
| Your songs remind me of swimming, |
| But I can’t swim any more |
| Then all of a sudden, I heard a note, |
| It started in my chest and ended in my throat |
| Then I realised I was swimming, |
| And then I realised I was swimming, |
| And then I realised I was swimming, |
| And then I realised I was swimming |
| 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 |
| Take a deep breath, tuck the water in my chest |
| Cross my fingers and hope for the best |
| Oh, take a deep breath, tuck 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 |
| And then I realised I was swimming, |
| And then I realised I was swimming, |
| And then I realised I was swimming, |
| And then I realised I was swimming |
