Swimming - Florence + The Machine

Lyrics by：Florence Welch/Steve Mackey/Alex James

Composed by：Florence Welch/Steve Mackey/Alex James

Your songs remind me of swimming

Which I forgot when I started to sink

Dragged further away from the shore

And deeper into the drink

Sat on the bottom of the ocean

A stern and stubborn rock

Your songs remind me of swimming

I was sinking but now I'm sunk

I was drinking and now I'm drunk

Your songs remind me of swimming

I tried to remember the chorus

I can't remember the verse

Because that song that sent me swimming

Is now the life jacket that burst

Rotting like a wreck on the ocean floor

Sinking like a siren that can't swim any more

Your songs remind me of swimming

But I can't swim any more

Pull me out the water cold and blue

I open my eyes and see that it's you

So I'll dive straight back in the ocean

Yes I'll dive straight back in the ocean

Take a deep breath suck the water in my chest

Take a deep breath suck the water in my chest

Cross my fingers and hope for the best

Then all of a sudden I heard a note

It started in my chest and ended in my throat

And then I realised

And then I realised

And then I realised

I was swimming

Yes I was swimming

And now I'm swimming

Yes I am swimming

Your songs remind me of swimming

Which I forgot when I started to sink

Your songs remind me of swimming

Which I forgot when I started to sink

Your songs remind me of swimming

Which I forgot when I started to sink

Your songs remind me of swimming

Which I forgot when I started to sink
