歌词
[Verse 1]
Night swimming deserves a quiet night
The photograph on the dashboard, taken years ago
Turned around backwards so the windshield shows
Every streetlight reveals the picture in reverse
Still, it's so much clearer
I forgot my edge at the water's shirt
The moon's low
[Verse 2]
Night swimming deserves a quiet night (Night swimming, night swimming)
I'm not sure all these people understand (Night swimming, night swimming)
It's not like years ago
The fear of getting caught
Of recklessness and water
They cannot see me naked
These things, they go away
Replaced by everyday
[Verse 3]
Night swimming, remembering that night
September's coming soon
I'm pining for the moon
And what if there were two
Side by side in orbit
Around the fairest sun?
That bright, tight forever drum
Could not describe night swimming (Night swimming)
[Verse 4]
You, I thought I knew you (Night swimming)
You, I cannot judge you (Night swimming)
You, I thought you knew me (Night swimming)
This one laughing quietly (Night swimming)
Underneath my breath (Night swimming)
Night swimming (Night swimming)
[Verse 5]
The photograph reflects (Night swimming)
Every streetlight a reminder (Night swimming)
Night swimming deserves a quiet night (Night swimming, night swimming)
Deserves a quiet night, deserves a quiet night, night (Night swimming, night swimming)
Night swimming, night swimming, night swimming
