Lyrics

Swimmer

The way your arm felt
Under the soft felt of the blanket
You may not know it
But I am loving you
With my fingers on your shoulders
I am lovin' you

I wanted to sing for you
So I'm gonna sing for you
I hope you're listenin' to me wherever you are

Come a little closer, give me somethin' I can hold
I wanna know they can't take this away from me
Take this away, take this away from me, take this away
Come a little closer, give me somethin' I can hold
I wanna know they can't take this away from me
Take this away, take this away from me, take this away

And I knew you when you were swimmin'
You were stronger than I ever was
And I am lovin' you
I am lovin' you
I am lovin' you
I am lovin' you

I wanted to sing for you
So I'm gonna sing for you

Come a little closer, give me somethin' I can hold
I wanna know they can't take this away from me
Take this away, take this away from me, take this away
Come a little closer, give me somethin' I can hold
I wanna know they can't take this away from me
Take this away, take this away from me, take this away
Take this away from me, take this away
Take this away from me, take this away

Take this away
Take this away
