Big Tear

Learn to swim Swim in the big tear Everywhere there are lies being spoken Everywhere there are hearts being broken They're all part of the big tear falling down on us They're all part of the big tear falling When I was nine the air started to smell of salt I looked up and saw the sky fill up with water A big eye staring down on me Ready to wrap me in his tear I tried to run but that drop would get anyone And here we are stuck in the tear But you'll learn to swim I tried to run but that drop would get anyone And here we are stuck in the tear But you'll learn to swim Everywhere I see heads getting older Everywhere I see minds getting smaller All is part of the big tear falling down on us All is part of the big tear falling I tried to run but that drop would get anyone One big tear comes floating by I tried to run but that drop would get anyone And here we are stuck in the tear But you'll learn to swim Slowly I learned how to swim Between the floating limbs there In the tear I heard hearts breaking Every other minute I had longed for shorelines Looking for some sand to land on Now I see that shore was fiction There's no getting out of floating And here we are stuck in the tear But you'll learn to swim here And here we are stuck in the tear But you'll learn to swim here And here we are stuck in the tear But you'll learn to swim here And here we are stuck in the tear But you'll learn to swim here But you'll learn to swim here But you'll learn to swim here Don't try to run
