Swimming - 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

Cos 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

I was sinking, now I’m sunk,

And I was drinking, now I’m drunk

I tried to remember the chorus,

I can’t remember the verse

Cos 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 no more

Your songs remind me of swimming,

But I can’t swim any more

Then all of a sudden, I heard a note,

It started in my chest and ended in my throat

Then I realised I was swimming,

And then I realised I was swimming,

And then I realised I was swimming,

And then I realised I was swimming

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

Take a deep breath, tuck the water in my chest

Cross my fingers and hope for the best

Oh, take a deep breath, tuck the water in my chest,

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

And then I realised I was swimming,

And then I realised I was swimming,

And then I realised I was swimming,

And then I realised I was swimming
