Lyrics

Swimming (Album: Swimming)

I’ve been swimming in the ocean
Dark below me deep
I’ve made so many promises
That I will never keep

Sinking heart pounds
Silent green enfolds
What if I decided to sink
Drifting down to pressured cold

Would I if I could
surface and breathe
All the words and sorrys wished
Doubting my release

I’ve been swimming in the sea
Ice parted to open space
Gasping above the endless dark
Shocked smile on frozen face

Would I if I could
surface and breathe
All the words and sorrys wished
Doubting my release

Singing whales float beneath
Promising with open eyes
To spit me out if swallowed whole
And release me to the sky
