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.
The only reason that it's scary getting old
is people treat you like you're too big to hold
and you still feel just like a kid
You call my bluff when I pretend to be at peace
You take the water that I finally release
Close your mouth, open your arms
That is why I reach for you so much
I think I'm drowning
until we touch
Life is an ocean we fall in
when you hold me I can swim
In this hospital the beds are made of steel
and metal instruments are all some people feel
but what you need is something soft against your skin
So you don't have to pretend to be at peace
I'll take the water that you finally release
Close your mouth, open your arms
That is why you reach for me so much
You think you're drowning
until we touch
Death is an ocean we fall in
I will hold you while you swim
