Lyrics
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 see the me, that everyone can see,
They see the me that I will never be.
I'm not so strong, or willing to be weak,
I feel misplaced, and sometimes obsolete.
I can't swim,
But I won't drown,
Won't drown, won't drown,Drown.
Well I'm standing in the pouring rain,
But I am dry, and without shame.
Oh I've soaked in something never found.
Well I guess I still could drown.
I don't like the mirror, that they put in my room.
I stand and stare, but all I see is you.
In silent space, I hear what they won't speak.
I give so much, that he may never see.
I can't swim,
But I won't drown,
Won't drown, won't drown,
Drown.
Well I'm standing in the pouring rain,
But I am dry, and without shame.
Oh I've soaked in something never found.
Well I guess I still could drown.
