Swimming

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

Sat on the bottom of the ocean
A stern and stubborn rock
Your songs remind me of swimming
But somehow I forgot

I was sinking, and now I'm sunk
I was drinking, and 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 a' swimming
Is now the life jacket that burst

Rotting like a wreck on the ocean floor
Sinkin' like a siren that can't swim any more
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 see that it's you
So I'll dive straight back in the ocean
Yes I'll dive 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
Then 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, oh
Then I realised
Then I realised
Then I realised
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
