Florence and The Machine - Swimming

Your songs remind me of swimming Which I forgot when I started to sink Drank further away from the shore And deeper into the drink
Sat on the bottom of the ocean, A stern and stubborn rock Cause your songs remind me of swimming, But somehow I forgot
I was sinking, but now I’m sunk And I was drinking, and now I’m drunk Your songs remind me of swimming But somehow I forgot
I tried to remember the chorus I can’t remember the verse Cause that song that sent me swimming Is now the life jacket that burst
Rotting like a wreck on the ocean floor Sinking like a siren that can’t swim anymore Your songs remind me of swimming But I can’t swim any more
Pull me out the water, cold and blue I open my eyes and I see that it’s you So I dive straight back in the ocean So I dive straight back in the ocean
Take a deep breath, suck the water in my chest Take a deep breath, suck the water in my chest And cross my fingers, and hope for the best
Then all of a sudden, I heard a note It started in my chest and ended in my throat Then I realized, then I realized, then I realized I was swimming, Yes, I was swimming And now I’m swimming Yes, I am swimming
Your songs remind me of swimming Which I forgot when I started to sink Your songs remind me of swimming Which I forgot when I started to sink Oh, your songs remind me of swimming Which I forgot when I started … Your songs remind me of swimming Which I forgot when i started … to sink.
