Oh me oh my
How large a desire
To run from the streets in only our sheets
Kicking our shoes off and clinging in heat
I would watch a bead of sweat drip down
Tracing the curve of your soft frown
Furrowed for whim or furrowed for woe
Because we should be swimming
Going long into the night as if we were different
We should be swimming
Oh we should be swimming
Going long into the night as if we were different
We should be swimming
Oh me oh my
I'm feverish with this life
Of stumbling through hoops, tripping over these loops
Pushed by the pen and forced by the boot
So I look to you for some release
Tossed things aside in search of peace
Bruising your hand so hard I squeeze, oh
Because we should be swimming
Going long into the night as if we were different
We should be swimming
Oh we should be swimming
Going long into the night as if we were different
We should be swimming
Hold your breath
Float down to the sea bed
And we'll see how long we can sleep (x4)
Because we should be swimming
Going long into the night as if we were different
We should be swimming
Oh we should be swimming
Going long into the night as if we were different
We should be swimming
