Miles Kurosky - I Can't Swim lyrics

She was naked She was waiting by the seaside She was crying She was filling up the ocean for me Because she knows I can't swim All the wailing and the sobbing on the hour C'mon darling C'mon c'mon c'mon You know you know I can't swim I need air Just some oxygen, I think it's only fair A reprieve, a pardon, please I've read my sentence and it seems a tad extreme The tears kept raining all night With a warm, salty sting The coastline stretches for days Now it's all I see I play the fool, I play dumb I kept the flow of denials Can't believe I let my excuses up to no fire Each one a dead albatross and a one-way ticket to Devil's Isle It's five fourteen in the morning It's bad, bad, bad as you go I plead with the sun to called on the dawn: Where you hiding? Where you hiding? She was golden and devoted to the shoreline She was young, beautiful and her skin was on fire And she knows I can't swim I never learned So I'm not sure what songs the sirens use to lure A wayward lad whose legs need land I've been convicted and most certainly condemned To drift each nautical mile Under a blistering heat Is this heaven or hell? Or in between? I play the fool,I play dumb I kept the flow of denials Can't believe I let my excuses up to no fire Each one a dead albatross and a one-way ticket to Devil's Isle It's five fourteen in the morning It's bad, bad, bad as you go I played with the sun to called on the dawn: Where you hiding? Where you hiding? Don't take my heart Cuz it's a worthless little stone and without it I would float all my days and nights I'd rather sink to the floor than continue with this pyre So don't take my heart Cuz it's a worthless little stone and without it I would float all my days and nights
