Big Tear Songtext
von Pitou

Learn to swim
Swim in the big tear

Everywhere there are lies being spoken
Everywhere there are hearts being broken
They′re all part of the big tear falling down on us
They're all part of the big tear falling

When I was nine the air started to smell of salt
I looked up and saw the sky fill up with water
A big eye staring down on me
Ready to wrap me in his tear

I tried to run but that drop would get anyone
And here we are stuck in the tear
But you′ll learn to swim

I tried to run but that drop would get anyone
And here we are stuck in the tear
But you'll learn to swim


Everywhere I see heads getting older
Everywhere I see minds getting smaller
All is part of the big tear falling down on us
All is part of the big tear falling

I tried to run but that drop would get anyone
One big tear comes floating by
I tried to run but that drop would get anyone
And here we are stuck in the tear
But you'll learn to swim

Slowly I learned how to swim
Between the floating limbs there
In the tear I heard hearts breaking
Every other minute
I had longed for shorelines
Looking for some sand to land on
Now I see that shore was fiction
There′s no getting out of floating

And here we are stuck in the tear
But you′ll learn to swim here

And here we are stuck in the tear
But you'll learn to swim here

And here we are stuck in the tear
But you′ll learn to swim here


And here we are stuck in the tear
But you'll learn to swim here
But you′ll learn to swim here
But you'll learn to swim here
Don′t try to run
