Swim

Sink to the bottom

Only to wind up belly up

On your bedroom floor

Innocuous form

I'm underwater

Half of the day, but still, you wade till I'm ready to float

And carry me home

We'll be alright in the morning

When the world is on fire, we'll be treading

In the yard, till I'm ready to float

And you carry me home

And we're dancing outside in the purple dark

By the blood that we shed on the boulevard

I know that you'll carry me home

You'll carry me home

To swim, swim, swim

To swim

Locked to the love seat

Flash me your front teeth

It's cherry and bone

Cherry and bone

You are the athlete

I am the astronaut

For thousands of miles, I float

Still, you carry me home

We'll be alright in the morning

When the world is on fire, we'll be treading

In the yard, till I'm ready to float

And you carry me home

And we're dancing outside in the purple dark

By the blood that we shed on the boulevard

I know that you'll carry me home

You'll carry me home

To swim, swim

(The world is on fire)

(Carry me)

(I'm ready to float)

(Carry me home)

To swim, swim, swim

(The world is on fire)

(And I'm ready to float)

Goodbye to my mother

Whose body I lived in

Turned blood into water

And taught me to swim

We'll be alright in the morning

When the world is on fire, we'll be treading

In the yard, till I'm ready to float

And you carry me home

And we're dancing outside in the purple dark

By the blood that we shed on the boulevard

I know that you'll carry me home

And you carry me home

To swim, swim, to swim

Carry me home

To swim
