Swimming to the Middle of the Ocean Lyrics

Moving with the current

Changing with the tide

It occurred to me this morning

You might not be on my side

Your silence is empty beach

Say something before sunrise

Or I'm jumping I'm gonna swim

No time for long goodbyes

You made a choice

To give me no voice in this

So I made choice

To stop all noise

And go out where no one is

I'm swimming to the middle of the ocean

Got caught between the devil and the deep

Not sittin' still waiting for a moment

Our time is over, it's time to leave

I'm swimming to the middle of the ocean

If you want me that's where I'll be

Done begging you to show me some emotion

Why bother now, now that I'm free

Now that I'm free

Don't throw me a lifeline

It's you who cut and run

We walked through hell to get here

I'll keep waking 'til it's done

I won't sit in the corner

While the party up and dies

I'm not some beast of burden when your feet are hurtin'

Just something you can ride

When you get tired or when you are bored

For how many years do I fall on my sword

And not say a word

I'm swimming to the middle of the ocean

Got caught between the devil and the deep

Not sittin' still waiting for a moment

Our time is over, it's time to leave

I'm swimming to the middle of the ocean

If you want me that's where I'll be

Done begging you to show me some emotion

Why bother now, now that I'm free

Now that I'm free

It's choice between the ashes and the fire

The lady and the tiger

The desperate and the dire

I'd rather swim with sharks then bargain with the spider

I'd rather take on water then keep trippin' though your wire

(I'll be swimming through the ocean)

I have to choose between the ashes and the fire

The lady and the tiger

The desperate and the dire

(Happy to be lost at sea)

I'd rather deal with sharks than bargain with the spider

I'd rather swim for nothing

And leave it all behind me

(I'll be swimming through the ocean)

Leave it all behind me

Leave it all behind

(Happy to be lost at sea)

Leave it all behind me

Leave it all behind
