Jack's Mannequin - Swim lyrics

rate me

You gotta swim

Swim for your life

Swim for the music

That saves you

When you're not so sure you'll survive

You gotta swim

Swim when it hurts

The whole world is watching

You haven't come this far

To fall off the earth

The currents will pull you

Away from your love

Just keep your head above

I found a tidal wave

Begging to tear down the door

Memories like bullets

They fired at me from a gun

Cracking me open yeah

I swim to brighter days

Despite the absense of sun

Choking on salt water

I'm not giving in

I swim

You gotta swim

For nights that wont end

Swim for your families

Your lovers your sisters

And brothers your friends

Yeah you gotta swim

For wars without cause

Swim for the lost politicians

Who don't see their greed is a flaw

The currents will pull us

Away from our love

Just keep your head above

I found a tidal wave

Begging to tear down the door

Memories like bullets

They fired at me from a gun

Cracking me open now

I swim to brighter days

Despite of the absense of sun

Choking on salt water

I'm not giving in

I'm not giving in

I swim

You gotta swim

Swim in the dark

There's an ocean to drift in

Feel the tide shifting away from the spark

Yeah you gotta swim

Don't let yourself sink

Just follow the horizon

I promise you it's not as far as you think

The currents will drag us away from our love

Just keep your head above

Just keep your head above

Swim

Just keep your head above

Swim, swim

Just keep your head above

Swim
