Swimming

Your songs remind me of swimming,Which I forgot when I started to sinkDrank further away from the shore,And deeper into the drink

Sat on the bottom of the ocean,A stern and stubborn rockCos your songs remind me of swimming,But somehow I forgot

I was sinking, now I'm sunkAnd I was drinking, now I'm drunkI 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 verseCos 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 moreYour 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 throatThen 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 chestCross my fingers and hope for the bestOh, 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 throatAnd 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
