Backstroke

Delicately Kelly from town's got a crush on you Over coffee I pick your brain all afternoon Pick up your cold feet She will never love you like I do I'll swim backstroke to keep from drowning Nose to the sky, carve your name in the baby blue (And I'll fall asleep to the sounds of the late noon) I'll swim backstroke to keep from drowning Nose to the sky, carve your name in the baby blue (And I'll fall asleep to the sounds of the late noon) Wading, wading, wading I keep waiting, waiting, waiting I keep waiting, waiting, waiting I keep waiting, waiting, waiting Elegantly I stand poised waiting for the end It's staring straight back at me Tiny little terrors won't get out of my head Legs keeping me afloat Even in the deepest pits of a shallow love I know that you're leaving Keep me in undertow Oh how you deceive me This feeling in my bones I know that you're leaving I'll swim backstroke to keep from drowning Nose to the sky, carve your name in the baby blue (And I'll fall asleep to the sounds of the late noon) I'll swim backstroke to keep from drowning Nose to the sky, carve your name in the baby blue (And I'll fall asleep to the sounds of the late noon) All of the strangers And all of the foes Come and stand by the water Where so many froze And I can't feel my body, I feel all their eyes But I won't turn to look Keep my nose to the sky And it's awfully silent The quiet will ring in my ears underneath As I'm starting to sink And as I see the bottom it's all I can do To keep waiting and waiting, waiting for you I keep waiting, waiting, waiting for you I keep waiting, waiting, waiting for you I keep waiting, waiting, waiting for you I keep waiting, waiting, waiting for you I keep waiting, waiting, waiting for you I keep waiting, waiting, waiting for you I keep waiting, waiting, waiting for you But you're weighing me, weighing me, weighing me further
