Swim

You keep telling me I'm beautiful
But I feel a little less so each time
Your love is so colorful
It flashes like a neon signBut I finally drove out where
The sky is dark enough to see stars
And I found I missed no one
Just listening to the swishing of distant carsI hope I never see the ocean again
Pushing and pulling at me
As I go deeper and deeper in
Till I'm so far from my shoreSo far from what I came here for
I let you surround me
I let you drown me out with your din
And then I learned how to swimI was floating above myself
Watching her do just what you wanted
Poor little friendly ghost
Wondering why her whole house feels hauntedI told myself I was strong enough
That I had plenty of blood to give
And each elbow cradled a needle
But listless and faint ain't no way to liveSo, I hope I never see the ocean again
Pushing and pulling at me
As I go deeper and deeper in
Till I'm so far from my shoreSo far from what I came here for
I let you surround me
I let you drown me out with your din
And then I learned how to swimYou keep telling me I'm beautiful
But I feel a little less so each time
Your love is so colorful
It flashes like a neon signBut I finally drove out where
The sky is dark enough to see stars
And I found I missed no one
Just listening to the swishing of distant cars
