Learning to Swim Songtext
von Backyard Tire Fire

Well I remember pinching pennies for the laundry load
Living in a one room shack by the side of the road

Well I know I can be abrasive
And I know I can be a jerk
Yeah, but I get the feeling right now
The feeling that this just might work

′Cause after all these years
Well we're finally settling in
And after all these tears
Seems we′re slowly learning to swim

Settling in
Learning to swim

Well we may be cutting corners at the grocery store
But things are much better these days than the days before

Well I know I can be evasive
And I know how to be a jerk
Yeah, but I get the feeling right now
The feeling that this just might work


'Cause after all these years
Well we're finally settling in
And after all these tears
Seems we′re slowly learning to swim

Well after all these years
Well we′re finally settling in
And after all these tears
Seems we're slowly learning to swim
Settling in
Learning to swim

Well I know I can be evasive
And I know I can be a jerk
Yeah, but I get the feeling right now
The feeling that this just might work

′Cause after all these years
Well we're finally settling in
And after all these tears
Seems we′re slowly learning to swim


After all these years
Well we're finally settling in
Well after all these tears
Seems we′re slowly learning to swim
Settling in
Learning to swim
