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
