lyrics

I swam out to sea
I wanted to know if you would still save me?
I turned to wave at you
But you turned and walked in to the wind
You didn’t see me

I start swimming and swimming and swimming so hard
Swimming and swimming and swimming so hard
Swimming and swimming and swimming so hard

I could see your scarf
It was red and my eyes were red
And the water felt hard

I tried to swim back
But the current pulled me sideways
So I just lay flat
Feeling so trapped

Swimming and swimming and swimming so hard
Swimming and swimming and swimming so hard
Swimming and swimming and swimming so hard to you
What could I do?

The water is closing in
I can feel my breathing thin

I see your silhouette
Your figure disappears as I sink down
You let me drown

I had a dream of drowning
I had a dream I was drowning
Couldn’t you see me drowning?

Why couldn’t you see I was drowning?

I kept swimming and swimming and swimming so hard
Swimming and swimming and swimming so hard
Swimming and swimming and swimming so hard to you


What could I do?
What could I do?
What else could I do?
What could I do…
Swimming and swimming and swimming so hard
