We Swim Lyrics by Islands

Arm’s Way

0

Same river, we swim like some sliver, in skin
Now it's in the river again
But it's moving and it feels so cold
Maybe you will, catch it still

In the same river we swam was no different
Than the same river we swam in again

Breathing spores, longing for
My lungs to be filled with your fungus no more
I cried as my cells divide
The feeling multiplies over time

And the boy sees me humming this simple song
And the boy comes close, he brings his sister along
The ecstatic unburdened youth, they're never wrong
And the boy starts singing along

After all, a voice, it's just a light, all the time in front of you
Facing faces, placing places, changing every time you do
Set off by soundless voices, singing rounded noises
Singing au revoir forever

The same river we swam in was no different
Than the same river we swam in again
Because it's moving and it feels so cold
Maybe you will catch it still
