A song about swimming . . . away
I’d never been that far from land, it’s always been scary at sea
You don’t know how deep, you don’t know what’s
Under you, watching you, waiting
Not sure what made me try again
I wanted to, baby, and
I swam out with the tide, oh and I’m
Over my head and the waves take me for a ride
I. and I’m swimming straight from the shore where I’m in too deep
II. and I’m gonna try how it feels too far out to sea
III. and it’s getting late but I’m not finished swimming
so call all you like, you can’t catch me
Before you lose your sight of land, you’re used to the waves and the sea
The sun’s burning down, the water its
Everywhere, everywhere, gray and green
Not sure yet when I’m going back,
been swimming for ages it seems
the horizon’s so near oh and I’m
