Swimming in the Shallow Sea Songtext
von Nation of Language

Kneel above the world, turning
A spotlight anywhere you′ve been
Every single Saturday night of your life summed up, seen
Terrified of finding nothing where you want it to be

So you float
Out of reach
I'm swimming in the shallow sea


Kneel above the world, turning
Every tawdry year weighs down on your heart
You watch it all, midwinter like the falling snow
Step inside me
Can you just remind me
What I need?

You got what you want, oh-oh
Easier than facing what you′ve done
Searching for some safer harbor

But you find none (so you float)
Out of reach
I'm swimming in the shallow sea

Swimming in the shallow sea
Swimming in the shallow sea
So you float, out of reach (swimming in the shallow sea)
I'm swimming in the shallow sea
