Swim

Keep watch
With eyes that scan the sea
Shore lost
Drifting like a leaf

Hope dashed
Right before my eyes
Endless blue
Endless night

You've got to hurt before you heal
You’ve got to earn a heart of steel
You've got to float before you learn to swim
I was only trying not to sink

3 days
Not a breathe of wind
First rays
Setting on my skin

Landless
I’m in deeper than I think
Push me out
Or pull me in

I watch my guiding star
As it plunges to the dark
I wish I’d thrown my heavy heart
To break the water
Or break my fall

You've got to hurt before you heal
You’ve got to earn a heart of steel
You've got to float before you learn to swim
I was only trying not to
Laugh before I cry
You've got to live before you die
You've got to float before you learn to swim
I was only trying not to sink
