Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'm so sick of writing all my songs about rebuilding
If I'm honest, I'm beyond tired of it
It's no longer fulfilling
Practice makes perfect
But they've all begun to sound the same
So uninspired and tame
The "fake it till you make it" attitude this time around's a losing game
[Verse 2]
I'm so sick of flying only to realise I'm falling
One step forward, three steps back
The push and pull of this time's exhausting
In the uncertainty, I've driven solo interstate
The lines of the freeway hold me hostage like Joni
When I'm low I put Coyote on replay
[Chorus]
And it's June now
There's a full moon out
It's hanging over Bronte in the morning
And I know somehow
Though I feel let down
Soon it'll make sense, and I think I saw a dolphin
They say that's a good omen
The ocean is restless yet reassuring
I'll be alright when all is wrong
So you can find me swimming, crying
Swimming, then crying
Swimming and crying all month long
[Verse 3]
I'm so sick of drying boys' tears
While they're breaking my heart
Dragging out goodbye
Share one last kiss before I break down in my car
Practice makes perfect, so I'm really good at moving on
Gift-wrap the grief in song
There's too much to be thankful for
Life's too short to hold a grudge or to hold on
[Chorus]
And it's June now
There's a full moon out
It's hanging over Bronte in the morning
And I know somehow
Though I feel let down
Soon it'll make sense, and I think I saw a dolphin
They say that's a good omen
This moment is restless yet reassuring
Against the current, still I'm strong
So you can find me swimming, crying
Swimming, then crying
Swimming and crying all month long
[Outro]
Swimming, crying
Singing when driving
Healing, smiling
Feeling, then thriving
Forgiving and writing
Living, not dying
Swimming and crying all month long
