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 |
