Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I was treading on the beach
Summer underneath my feet
Somewhere I'd never seen
Momma led me by the hand
Till the grit stuck with the damp
And the foam fizzed adrift
When we both strode in
[Verse 2]
I could feel the detritus liftin'
And I moved like I knew that I was free again
Then before thinking I ventured out
[Verse 3]
Swimming
Across the sea
The current battles way down below me
Driftin'
But holding on
I keep my head up to watch the shore
[Verse 4]
After many years had passed
Hoping I would find the path
I arrived at the start
In the shadow of a cliff
Memories floating in the wind
I squared up to the tide
On my own this time
[Verse 5]
I could feel the detritus liftin'
While a teardrop tickled as it ran away
But it got lost and I washed it off
[Verse 6]
Swimming
Across the sea
I get the feeling
I always have been
[Verse 7]
Swimming
Across the sea
The current battles way down below me
Driftin'
But holding on
I keep my head up to watch the shore
Swimming
Swimming
