My Brother Taught Me How to Swim

My brother taught me how to swim We treaded water underneath the ocean's skin And then he washed away my sins He held me closer as the tide was coming in But then why, what could I say? What would it mean? 'Cause then I, I'd give away All the love I feel Just a child, I was waiting On the line, he elevated He stayed put while I was wandering Count so long he started wondering Why, I got lost My brother taught me how to give He spilt his love until it stretches too thin Oh how I wanna be like him He takes away the weight before your heart gives in But then why, what could I say?

What would it mean? 'Cause then I, I'd give away All the love I feel Just a child, I was waiting On the line, he elevated He stayed put while I was wandering Count so long he started wondering Why, I got lost --- My Brother Taught Me How To Swim - Passion Pit
