Swimming (Live From Hammersmith Apollo / 2010) - Florence + The Machine

Your songs remind me of swimming

Which I forgot when I started to sink

Dragged further away from the shore

And deeper into the drink

Sat on the bottom of the ocean

A stern and stubborn rock

Cause your songs remind me of swimming

But somehow I forgot

I was sinking

But now I'm sunk

I was drinking

Now I'm drunk

Your songs remind me of swimming

But somehow I forgot

I tried to remember the chorus

I can't remember the verse

Cause that song that sent me swimming

Is now the life jacket that burst

Rotting like a wreck on the ocean floor

Sinking like a siren that can't swim anymore

Your songs remind me of swimming

But I can't swim any more

Pull me out the water

Cold and blue

I open my eyes

See that it's you

So I dive straight back in the ocean

So I dive straight back in the ocean

Take a deep breath

Suck the water in my chest

Take a deep breath

Suck the water in my chest

And cross my fingers

And hope for the best

Then all of a sudden

I heard a note

It started in my chest and ended in my throat

Then I realized

Then I realized

Then I realized

I was swimming

Yes I was swimming

And now I'm swimming

Yes I am

Your songs remind me of swimming

Which I forgot when I started to sink

Your songs remind me of swimming

Which I forgot when I started to sink
