Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Your songs remind me of swimming

Which I forgot when I started to sink

Dragged further away from the shore

And deeper into the drink

Sat on the bottom of the ocean

A stern and stubborn rock

Your songs remind me of swimming

But somehow I forgot

[Verse 2]

I was sinking, and now I'm sunk

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

That song that sent me swimming

Is now the life jacket that burst

[Verse 3]

Rotting like a wreck on the ocean floor

Sinkin' like a siren that can't swim any more

Your songs remind me of swimming

But I can't swim anymore

[Verse 4]

Pull me out the water, cold and blue

I open my eyes and see that it's you

So I'll dive straight back in the ocean

Yes, I'll dive straight back in the ocean

[Verse 5]

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 I for the best

[Verse 6]

Then all of a sudden, I heard a note

It started in my chest and ended in my throat

Then I realised

Then I realised

Then I realised

I was swimming

Yes, I was swimming

And now I'm swimming

Yes, I am swimming

[Verse 7]

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
