Learning To Swim Songtext
von Ilse DeLange

Got in the water
Baby, you threw me into an ocean
Cut the line and left me with no air
Talking about the hundred and one things you gave me
But left out the one thing I wanted

You always know how to make me dependent
Now baby I end it, I′m leaving you stranded

Oh yeah, I'm leaving you stranded

If you try to hold me down
Get off, boy
Don′t you know I'm finally learning to swim
I know you keep circling around my heart boy
I want you back, 'cause I′m gonna pull you in
(You wanna get your lifeguard, this ain′t no lifeguard)
I already left that sinking ship
So if you try to hold me down
Get off, boy
'Cause I′m finally learning to swim


Over-exaggerated your heart size
I guess I was blind-eyed
But baby, not this time
Stuck inbetween the rock and your dumb face
I make my own way and I play my own games
Ground control, your eagle has landed
Now baby I end it, I'm leaving you stranded

Oh yeah, I′m leaving you stranded

If you try to hold me down
Get off, boy
Don't you know I′m finally learning to swim
I know you keep circling around my heart boy
I want you back, 'cause I'm gonna pull you in
(You wanna get your lifeguard, this ain′t no lifeguard)
I already left that sinking ship
So if you try to hold me down
Get off, boy
′Cause I'm finally learning to swim

Ohh ohh ooh

You give to take, you build to break
Your big mistake was that you′re never man enough to let me in
I try to try to realise that every word just builds a lie
My heart ain't out, it′s caving in

Ohh ohh ooh


If you try to hold me down
Get off, boy
'Cause I′m finally learning to swim
If you try to hold me down
Get off, boy
Don't you know I'm finally learning to swim
I know you keep circling around my heart boy
I want you back, ′cause I′m gonna pull you in
(You wanna get your lifeguard, this ain't no lifeguard)
I already left that sinking ship
So if you try to hold me down
Get off, boy
′Cause I'm finally learning to swim

Ohh ohh ooh

If you try to hold me down
Get off, boy
′Cause I'm finally learning to swim
