When We Swam

When we swam our love to pieces We washed up on messy beaches You cleaned dry I would not drift yet I should drink salt water to forget Oh why, oh why, oh why? Won't you sing? Bring your hips to me Oh, bring your hips Oh, oh, bring your hips to me? To me? Oh, bring your hips to me Oh, bring your hips Oh, oh, bring your hips to me? To me? To me? To me? To me? Well once I arrived But you would not receive me I wanted it all You could not tell Then I paid expensive attention to detail The fall of your face The wish of the well The rush of the push The length of the spell And you won't Oh why, oh why, oh why? Won't you sing? Bring your hips to me Oh, bring your hips Oh, oh, bring your hips to me? To me? Oh, bring your hips to me Oh, bring your hips Oh, oh, bring your hips to me? To me? To me? To me? To me? You tug so lightly on me Work like you are on vacation While I was swept wide I wept for you across the nation All my love I don't deny When they place their hands On both my sides When we swam our love to pieces We washed up on messy beaches You cleaned dry I would not drift yet I should drink salt water to forget Oh why, oh why, oh why Won't you sing --- When We Swam - Thao Nguyen and Thao & the Get Down Stay Down
