I Would Swim
I pour my guts out every single night
And cough my lungs up in the morning
I'm trying to tell you the stories from my life
I don't want you to think I'm boring
I know that you've got more money than you've got time
But I want me to buy tonight
I know I'm usually joking all the time
But you look pretty in this light
I would swim better than I ever did
If I could hold you in my arms
And I would swim better than I ever did
If I was saving your life
That glass table behind the house
It shined with old bonfires and Christmas lights
And all the alcohol and drugs we tried
Will live forever in my mind
And I regret what I said to you that night
Well, I was drunk and you were right
Drinking whiskey and staying up all night
To make sure my friend doesn't die
I would swim better than I ever did
If I could hold you in my arms
And I would swim better than I ever did
If I was saving your life
I would swim, I would swim
I would swim better than I ever did
If I could hold you in my arms
And I would swim better than I ever did
If I was saving your life
I would swim, I would swim
And cough my lungs up in the morning
I'm trying to tell you the stories from my life
I don't want you to think I'm boring
I know that you've got more money than you've got time
But I want me to buy tonight
I know I'm usually joking all the time
But you look pretty in this light
I would swim better than I ever did
If I could hold you in my arms
And I would swim better than I ever did
If I was saving your life
That glass table behind the house
It shined with old bonfires and Christmas lights
And all the alcohol and drugs we tried
Will live forever in my mind
And I regret what I said to you that night
Well, I was drunk and you were right
Drinking whiskey and staying up all night
To make sure my friend doesn't die
I would swim better than I ever did
If I could hold you in my arms
And I would swim better than I ever did
If I was saving your life
I would swim, I would swim
I would swim better than I ever did
If I could hold you in my arms
And I would swim better than I ever did
If I was saving your life
I would swim, I would swim
