Swimmin’ in the Sea Lyrics by Gretchen and the Pickpockets

Gretchen and the Pickpockets (LP)

2014

[Verse 1: Gretchen Klempa]
Honey, I figured out another way to say what I wanted to say
Put it in a song, it goes like this:
One, two, three, four
And I forget the rest
Oh, but it was good, yeah
All I'm sayin’ is all I need is to be understood
But I might not be what you wanted me to be
Oh, but if you wanna talk you can find me
Swimmin' in the sea
[Verse 2: Ryan O’Connell]
I mean, honey, I never meant to let you down
But you had such high hopes
You shoulda been down here with everybody else
Instead of swinging up in those ropes
Well, you're gonna get hurt
Yes, you will just get hurt
The samе thing that happened with you is gonna happen with hеr
Well, I might not be what you wanted me to be
Oh, but if you wanna talk you can find me
Swimmin’ in the sea
[Pre-Chorus: Gretchen]
Oh, and I'm ready for something better
Just give me good loving and hold me when I'm under the weather
And I'm ready for something true
But if your heart don't change, then it's never gonna be with you
[Chorus: Gretchen and Ryan]
Baby, I figured out another way to say what I wanted to say
I put it in a song, it goes like this:
One, two, three, four
But I forget the rest
Oh, but it was good, yeah
Honey, all I'm sayin' is all I need is to be understood
Well, I might not be what you wanted me to be
Oh, but if you wanna talk you can find me
Swimmin’ in the sea
[Post-Chorus: Gretchen]
’Cause I'm ready for something better
Just give me good loving and hold me when I’m under the weather
And I'm ready for something true
But if your heart don't change, then it's never gonna be with you
But if your heart don’t change, then it's never gonna be with you
[Bridge: Gretchen]
Be with you, be with you, be with you
But if your heart don't change, then it's never gonna be with you
Woah
Be with you, be with you
Be with you
But if your heart don't change, then it's never gonna be with you
[Outro: Gretchen]
Baby, I figured out another way to say what I wanted to say
I put it in a song, it goes like this:
One, two, three, four
But I forget the rest
