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
‘Cause 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 swimming
Is now the life jacket that burst.
Rotting like a wreck on the ocean floor,
Sinking like a siren that can't swim anymore
‘Cause our songs remind me of swimming,
But I can't swim anymore.
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,
So I 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,
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,
Then I realized, then I realized, then I realized,
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.
