Swimming Lyrics by Eilish Gilligan

Final Girl

2024

[Verse 1]
It's crazy to me
How we voluntarily walk into the ocean to swim
Floating around like it's nothing
So unaware
Couldn't care less 'bout the dark in the water below
More dangerous than we'll ever know
I was watching the water
My friends caught in the waves turning over
Thought I'd never get in again
Up the coast you said the same thing
[Chorus]
I was watching the water
My friends caught in the waves turning over
Thought I'd never get in again
Up the coast you said the same thing
[Verse 2]
It's wild to me
Wе were both caught declaring a war on thе water
We know everyone else loves swimming though
You found me out there
All forlorn on the shore
And I was sure that you must be a dream
A vision I made to soothe me
[Chorus]
We were watching the water
Our friends caught in the waves turning over
Swore I'd never get in again
Funny thing you've got me thinking
[Bridge]
Oh I remember the water spilling to my lungs
At the back of the club
At two in the morning
All I want is a soul I can carry
To the bottom of the sea
And kiss in the morning
Is that you? I don't mean to be forward
But I've paid my dues and it's all I ever wanted
I pretend I don't but it's all I ever wanted
To pretend I don't
I drive home alone
All fully clothed and
Dry as a bone
