Swimming

It’s crazy to me

How we voluntarily walk into the ocean to swim

Floating around like it’s nothing

So unaware

Couldn’t care less ‘bout

The dark in the water below

More dangerous than we’ll ever know

I was watching the water

My friends caught in the waves turning over

Thought I’d never get in again

Up the coast you said the same thing

It’s wild to me

We were both caught declaring a war on the water

We know everyone else loves swimming though

You found me out there

All forlorn on the shore

I was sure that you must be a dream

A vision I made just to soothe me

We were watching the water

Our friends caught in the waves turning over

Swore I’d never get in again

Funny thing you’ve got me thinking

Oh I remember the water spilling to my lungs

At the back of the club

At two in the morning

All I want is a soul I can carry

To the bottom of the sea

And kiss in the morning

Is that you? I don’t mean to be forward but

I’ve paid my dues and it’s all I ever wanted

I pretend that I don’t I

Drive home alone all

Fully clothed

And dry as a bone
