Learning to Swim
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I can't breathe and I can't see in front of me
And I am feeling lost at see without you
And I don't know which way is left and which is right
But I will go out of my mind without you
So I will try to look into your heart
And see the man you claim you are
Just like learning to swim all over again
I have to believe that I can
And I'll give you my heart all over again
Over my head, that's where I seem to always be
And I can't breathe and I can't see without you
You bring me down, I will have known it all along
And I'll sink just like a stone without you
So I will try to look into your heart
And see the brand new man you say you are
Just like learning to swim all over again
I have to believe that I can
And I'll give you my heart all over again
So I've lived this live a thousand years
Somehow I, I can swallow all of my tears
And dive right in with my eyes opened wide
Just like learning to swim all over again
I have to believe that I can
And I'll give you my heart all over again
So I'm learning to swim all over again
I have to believe that I can
And I'll give you my heart all,
Again and again and again
