[Intro]
500 metre front-crawl champion at school
And I guess I should've told you
I was a paddling pool
[Verse 1]
I'm sitting on the tiles
Following your footprints to the turnstile
Wish I could cast you in bronze
Reanimate you when I want
[Chorus]
Teach me how to breathe
Wading in the shallows
My water-wings and me
I forget to breathe
Wading in the water
Waving from the weeds
[Verse 2]
Waving in the car
Drive all your friends to the union bar
I know you aren't a trophy
But maybe I can pick you up
[Chorus]
Teach me how to breathe
Wading in the shallows
My water-wings and me
I forget to breathe
Wading in the water
Waving from the weeds
[Outro]
Chlorine, ketchup
Please don't freak out
Hometown hero
Come to my show
