Florence + 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, now I'm sunk
And I was drinking, 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 anymore

Pull me out the water, cold and blue
I open my eyes and I see that it's you
So I'll dive straight back in the ocean
Yes, I'll go 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
