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,

And 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 dawn,
Memories like bullets,

They fired at me from a gun,
Cracking the armor yeah,
I swim for brighter days,

Despite the absence of sun,
Choking on salt water,
I'm not giving in,

Swim,

You gotta swim,

For nights that won't end,
Swim for your families,
Your lovers your sisters,

And brothers and friends,
Yeah, you gotta swim,
For wars without cause,

Swim for the lost politicians,
Who don't see their greed as 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 dawn,

Memories like bullets,
They fired at me from a gun,
Cracking the armor yeah,

I swim for brighter days,
Despite the absence of sun,
Choking on salt water,

I'm not giving in,
Well I'm not giving in,
Swim


You gotta swim,
Swim in the dark,

There's no shame in drifting,
Feel the tide shifting and wait for the spark,
Yeah you gotta swim,

Don't let yourself sink,
Just find 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.
