Backstroke Lyrics by Dizzy (Band)

Baby Teeth

2018

[Verse 1]
Delicately
Kelly from town's got a crush on you
Over coffee
I pick your brain all afternoon
Pick up your cold feet
She will never love you like I do

[Chorus]
I'll swim backstroke to keep from drowning
Nose to the sky, carve your name in the baby blue
(And I'll fall asleep to the sounds of the late noon) (x2)

[Post-Chorus]
Wading, wading, wading
I keep waiting, waiting, waiting
I keep waiting, waiting, waiting
I keep waiting, waiting, waiting

[Verse 2]
Elegantly
I stand poised waiting for the end
It's staring straight back at me
Tiny little terrors won't get out of my head
Legs keeping me afloat
Even in the deepest pits of a shallow love
I know that you're leaving
Keep me in undertow
Oh how you deceive me
This feeling in my bones
I know that you're leaving

[Chorus]
I'll swim backstroke to keep from drowning
Nose to the sky, carve your name in the baby blue
(And I'll fall asleep to the sounds of the late noon) (x2)

[Bridge]
All of the strangers
And all of the foes
Come and stand by the water
Where so many froze
And I can't feel my body, I feel all their eyes
But I won't turn to look
Keep my nose to the sky
And it's awfully silent
The quiet will ring in my ears underneath
As I'm starting to sink
And as I see the bottom it's all I can do
To keep waiting and waiting, waiting for you
I keep waiting, waiting, waiting for you
I keep waiting, waiting, waiting for you
I keep waiting, waiting, waiting for you
I keep waiting, waiting, waiting for you
I keep waiting, waiting, waiting for you
I keep waiting, waiting, waiting for you
I keep waiting, waiting, waiting for you
But you're weighing me, weighing me, weighing me further
