Lyrics

Swimming Home

[Verse 1] Way down I’ve been way down Underneath this skin Waiting to hear my name again [Chorus] I’m sorry Nothing can hold me I adore you still But I hear them calling And nothing can hold me [Verse 2] Way down (Do you really want me?) All the way down (Do you really want me here?) I will hear your voice (Do you really want me?) But I’ll no longer understand (But it's really not me here) [Chorus] I’m sorry Nothing can hold me I adore you still But I hear them calling [Bridge] I was looking to the sky When I knew I’d be swimming home And I cannot betray my kind They are here It’s my time [Chorus] I’m sorry Nothing can hold me (Do you really want me here?) I adore you still But I hear them calling (Calling) And nothing can hold me
