Swim Songtext
von Mating Ritual

I remember when we were young
When the smoke could cover the sun
And we would both lose our jobs
At least for a week
The ocean looked like one giant grave
You know I′ve always seen it that way
But now I feel it's high time to see if I can swim


She said,
"Go wherever you like,"
"You got time."
"You got time to pick the places that you′ll fall,"
"To pick the people that you want."
But she said,
"No. The bottle's dry,"
"And that won't save you,"
"That won′t save you."
"But you got time."
"Yeah, you got time."
"′Cause you got time."
"Yeah, you got time,"
"Before we bur-ur-ur-ur-urn."

Bur-ur-ur-ur-urn
Bur-ur-ur-ur-urn
And before we bur-ur-ur-ur-urn
Bur-ur-ur-ur-urn
Bur-ur-ur-ur-urn

I remember talking the same
Getting over every day
Watching everyone else drink
'Cause I can′t stand the taste
The sky was getting darker each day
The hours backed for miles each way
And I felt that it was her time to learn to swim


She said,
"Go wherever you like."
"You got time,"
"You got time to pick the places that you'll fall,"
"To pick the people that you want."
But she said,
"No. The bottle′s dry,"
"And that won't save you,"
"That won′t save you."
"But you got time."
"Yeah, you got time."
"'Cause you got time."
"Yeah, you got time,"
"Before we bur-ur-ur-ur-urn."

Bur-ur-ur-ur-urn
Bur-ur-ur-ur-urn
And before we bur-ur-ur-ur-urn
Bur-ur-ur-ur-urn
Bur-ur-ur-ur-urn

She said,
"Go wherever you like,"
"That won't save you."
"That won′t save you."
"But you got time."
"You got time,"
"′Cause you got time."
"Yeah, you got time."

She said,
"No. The bottle's dry."
"That won′t save you."
"That won't save you."
"But you got time,"
"Yeah, you got time."
"′Cause you got time."
"Yeah, you got time."
