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
