Alex James - Swimming lyrics

[Chorus] Your songs remind me of swimming Which I forgot when I started to sink [Verse 1] Dragged further away from the shore And deeper into the drink Sat on the bottom of the ocean A stern and stubborn rock [Chorus] [Verse 2] I was sinking, but now I'm sunk I was drinking, and now I'm drunk [Chorus] [Verse 3] I tried to remember the chorus I can't remember the verse Because 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 any more Chorus [Verse 4] Pull me out the water, cold and blue I open my eyes and see that it's you So I'll dive straight back in the ocean Yes I'll dive straight back in the ocean Take a deep breath, s** the water in my chest Take a deep breath, s** the water in my chest 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 And then I realised [x3] [Bridge] I was swimming Yes, I was swimming And now I'm swimming Yes, I am swimming [Chorus][x4]
