Swimming by Florence + The Machine

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, now I'm sunk,

I was drinking and now I'm drunk.

Cause 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 lifejacket that bursts.

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 anymore.

Pull me out the water, cold and blue.

I open my eyes and 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,

I 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 realised, then I realised,

then I realised 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.
