Swimming

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 'Cause your songs remind me of swimming, But somehow I forgot I was sinking, but now I'm sunk And 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 Your songs remind me of swimming But I can't swim any more 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 And 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 --- Swimming - Florence + the Machine
