Swim Lessons Songtext
von Hereboy

I was walking down
Down to see your house
The calico stuck whiskers in my mouth
The mockingbird dropped feathers on my blouse
I was going to see you there
I was meant to braid your raven hair
But the sea had come undone
The ocean swallowed everyone
The water is rising
I′m up to my thighs in


The deep blue
My hat flew off!
I was looking for you
And maybe you're doing the dishes
While I am out with the fishes
And maybe you′re out to dinner
But I was never
A strong enough swimmer
I can't, I can't, I can′t, i can′t
I can't, I can′t

I can't breathe
I can′t, I can't, I can′t, i can't
I can't, I can′t
I can′t see
It's cold here
I′m caught here
Have you given much thought, dear
To how we never change?
The water has risen
And still we have not given


Ourselves a place to land
And maybe you're out to dinner
But I was never
A strong enough swimmer
I can′t, I can't, I can′t, i can't
I can't, I can′t
I can′t breathe
I can't, I can′t, I can't, i can′t
I can't, I can′t
I can't see

Because the sea had come undone
The ocean swallowed everyone
