Swim, Swim, Swim!

Keep it loud

The silence just reminds us

That there's nothing left to say

We talked and laughed remembering

"the way things used to be"

But there's nothing like the feeling

That we lost when we grew old

And tired of each other

So we sing.

Scream it so loud

We can only feel the burning

To keep us from the yearning

For things we couldn't save,

Repeat, reuse, or recreate alone.

With time

Comes a twist on our old memories

They're mine

And they're yours but they are not the same

We sang

Words like "forever" with a sense of hope

But it's gone

And forever means the ending of when...

There was a time

Or there was a place

Or there was name

Or there was a meaning that we all knew

We could hold on to

Call our own but share it like we owned it

Now there's just time

Pushing away

Pulling apart

Taking whats ours

Taking all that we valued

Cheapening the memory

And laughing off our lives

What the hell is happening?

We dove in head first

Holding hands, holding our breath

Don't be the first to let go

Don't be the last to still believe

Learning as we go

And destined to repeat are own mistakes
