swimmer Lyrics

Dead leaves

Floating above the pool

I could drown in your eyes if you'd let me

The white fence

You always hide behind

One day I'll paint it black

Strike a match

Burn it down

Tie a noose

And pray God doesn't find out

That you were in the garden

Eating the forbidden fruit

And I did it too

I said don't mind me getting in bed with the enemy, the enemy

I said don't mind me getting in bed with the enemy, the enemy

I said don't mind me getting in bed with the enemy, the enemy

You only say what you're taught to respond

And I only hate all the things that I've lost

But maybe I could get them back to you

Here at the bottom of the pool

And I know I know you said not to

But I can't stop gravity

And I did everything you told me to

Asleep at the bottom of

Asleep, asleep at the bottom of the bottom of the pool

Swimmer

Here at the bottom of the pool

And tell me that they'll ruin us too

Tell me that you're ruined

Riding in the shotgun of my car

Now you pass me with a nod

Swimming in the ruin

The worst death of all

Is when you know it's coming

And my clothes are soaked with soppy obsession

But my Nikes float to the surface of you and maybe

Maybe

I'm across the room

I'll catch a glimpse of them

In your iris

And you'll remember me

Dying under them

With my hands all over you

You can't escape what you can't undo

Come home to me my love

I'll make you feel alright

Teach you to float all night

Swimmer

Swimmer
