Swim

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I've been trying to tell you But I just don't have the words Love is not an ocean or a panicking bird It's dancing and beating the drum Staring down the sights along the barrel of a gun Less the parts and more the sum [Chorus] So hold your breath underwater Till you're strong enough to swim Past the edge, so much farther Than you have ever been [Verse 2] Call me Call me by my name Heaven knows that I've been carrying the shame Of trying but never hard enough Always folded when the dealer called my bluff I always wanted something better Always out of reach [Chorus] So I'll hold my breath underwater Till I'm strong enough to swim Past the edge, so much farther Than I have ever been [Verse 3] I confess I'm scared of drowning Just like I've always been But all of this is meaningless If I'm afraid of diving in [Chorus] Hold your breath underwater Till you're strong enough to swim Past the edge, so much farther Than you have ever been [Verse 4] I confess that I'm scared of drowning Just like I've always been But all of this is meaningless If I'm afraid of diving in
