Backstroke

Delicately

Kelly from town's got a crush on you

Over coffee

I pick your brain all afternoon

Pick up your cold feet

She will never love you like I do

I'll swim backstroke to keep from drowning

Nose to the sky, carve your name in the baby blue

(And I'll fall asleep to the sounds of the late noon)

I'll swim backstroke to keep from drowning

Nose to the sky, carve your name in the baby blue

(And ill fall asleep to the sounds of the late noon)

Elegantly

I stand poised waiting for end

It's staring straight back at me

Tiny little terrors won't get out of my head

Legs keeping me afloat

Even in the deepest

Pits of a shallow love

I know that you're leaving

Keep me in undertow

Oh how you deceive me

This feeling in my bones

I know that you're leaving

I'll swim backstroke to keep from drowning

Nose to the sky, carve your name in the baby blue

(And I'll fall asleep to the sounds of the late noon)

I'll swim backstroke to keep from drowning

Nose to the sky, carve your name in the baby blue

(And ill fall asleep to the sounds of the late noon)

All of the stranger

And all of our foes

Come and stand by the water

Where so many froze

And I can't feel my body

I feel all their eyes

But I won't turn to look

Keep my nose to the sky

And it's awfully silent

The quiet will ring

In my ears underneath

As I'm starting to sink

And as I see the bottom

It's all I can do

To keep waiting, waiting, waiting for you

I keep waiting and waiting and waiting for you

I keep waiting and waiting and waiting for you

I keep waiting and waiting and waiting for you

I keep waiting and waiting and waiting for you

But you're weighing me, weighing me, weighing me further
