Swimming Lessons Lyrics by Lanterns On The Lake

Spook The Herd

2020

[Verse 1]
For God's sake, look at me straight
It will all be fine by the time we wake
You know you've been entombed in your own doubt
[Verse 2]
Like a floodlight in a power cut
Or Vincent's Starry Night with the colour drained
Like a monochrome king lying in state
[Pre-Chorus]
And you'll never learn to swim keeping one foot on the ground
[Chorus]
When they come for us
Pull me in tight anyway
And when they take their aim
Repeat after me when I say
"I think the time's come"
[Verse 3]
This fear that consumes you
Will be gone by the time those flowers bloom
And may you never look back
[Refrain]
Because you'll never learn to swim keeping one foot on the ground
[Chorus]
When they come for us
Pull me in tight anyway
And when they take their aim
Repeat after me when I say
"I think the time's come to let go of the side"
[Outro]
I think the time's come to let go of the side
I think the time's come to let go of the side
I think the time's come
