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 remember when we were young
When the smoke would cover the sun
And we would both lose our jobs
At least for a week
The ocean looked like one giant grave
You know I've always seen it that way
But now I feel it's our time to see if I can swim
She said go
Wherever you like
You got time
You got time
To pick the places that you'll fall
To pick the people that you want
But she said
No, the bottle's dry
And that won't save you
That won't save you
But you got time
Yeah, you got time
'Cause you got time
Yeah, you got time
Before we bur-ur-ur-ur-urn
Bur-ur-ur-ur-urn
Bur-ur-ur-ur-urn
Before we bur-ur-ur-ur-urn
Bur-ur-ur-ur-urn
Bur-ur-ur-ur-urn
I remember talking the same
Getting over every day
Watching everyone else drink
'Cause I can't stand the taste
The sky was getting darker each day
The hours backed for miles each way
And I felt that it was her time to learn to swim
She said go
Wherever you like
You got time
You got time
To pick the places that you'll fall
To pick the people that you want
But she said
No, the bottle's dry
And that won't save you
That won't save you
But you got time
Yeah, you got time
'Cause you got time
Yeah, you got time
Before we bur-ur-ur-ur-urn
Bur-ur-ur-ur-urn
Bur-ur-ur-ur-urn
Before we bur-ur-ur-ur-urn
Bur-ur-ur-ur-urn
Bur-ur-ur-ur-urn
She said go
Wherever you like
That won't save you
That won't save you
But you got time
You got time
Cause you got time
Yeah you got time
She said no
The bottle's dry
And that won't save you
That won't save you
But you got time
Yeah you got time
Cause you got time
Yeah you got time
