Lyrics

Swim For Your Life

Teach me how to swim
For my life, for my life
When it all begins
We survive, we survive
Hold the tide, hold the tide
'Cause in my head, the world is mine
Hold the tide, hold the tide
'Cause in my head, the world is mine
Ah, ah, ah
Teach us how to grab
A T tight, and get mine
We live amongst the dead
What a time to be alive
When the barrel of the gun
Shoots organized form
It splits the sides
So hold your sides, hold the tide
'Cause in my head, the world is mine
Hold the tide, hold the tide
'Cause in my head, the world is mine
But I'm a dream procrastinator
I got things to do
Gotta see 'em mad
A power dog, got a sheep to shoot
But I'm a cream in an elevator
And the rink is huge
The depths you gotta go
The depths you gotta go
To make things right
The depths you gotta go
The depths you gotta go
To make things right
Teach me how to swim
For my life, for my life
I'll teach me how to swim
For your life, only to survive
I'll teach me how to swim
For your life, oh oh oh oh
Hold that tide, hold that tide
'Cause in my eyes, the world is mine
Hold that tide, hold that tide
'Cause in my head, the world is mine
Hold that tide
'Cause in my head, the world is mine
Hold that tide, hold that tide
'Cause in my head, the world is mine
