Swim

I've been trying to tell you
But I just don't have the words
Love is not an ocean or a panicking bird
It's dancing and beating the drum
Staring down the sights along the barrel of a gun
Less the parts and more the sum

So hold your breath underwater
'Til you're strong enough to swim
Past the edge, so much farther
Than you have ever been

Call me, call me by my name
Heaven knows that I've been carrying the shame
Of trying, but never hard enough
Always folded when the dealer called my bluff, I
Always wanted something better
Always out of reach, so I'll

Hold my breath underwater
'Til I'm strong enough to swim
Past the edge, so much farther
Than I have ever been
I confess I'm scared of drowning
Just like I've always been
But all of this is meaningless
If I'm afraid of diving in

Hold your breath underwater
'Til you're strong enough to swim
Past the edge, so much farther
Than you have ever been
I confess that I'm scared of drowning
Just like I've always been
But all of this is meaningless
If I'm afraid of diving in
