Florence And The Machine lyrics : "Swimming"

Your songs remind me of swimming,
Which I forgot when I started to sink
Drank further away from the shore,

And deeper into the drink

Sat on the bottom of the ocean,

I stirred and stumbled around [?]
Cos your songs remind me of swimming,
But somehow I forgot


I was sinking, now I'm sunk
And I was drinking, now I'm drunk

I was sinking, now I'm sunk,
And I was drinking, now I'm drunk


I tried to remember the chorus,
I can't remember the verse
Cos 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 no more
Your songs remind me of swimming,
But I can't swim any more


Then all of a sudden, I heard a note,
It started in my chest and ended in my throat

Then I realised I was swimming,
And then I realised I was swimming,
And then I realised I was swimming,

And then I realised I was swimming

Pull me out the water, cold and blue,

I open my eyes and I see that it's you,
So I dive straight back in the ocean


Take a deep breath, tuck the water in my chest
Cross my fingers and hope for the best
Oh, take a deep breath, tuck 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 I was swimming,
And then I realised I was swimming,

And then I realised I was swimming,
And then I realised I was swimming
