We Should Be Swimming Lyrics by Zulu Winter

Language

2012

[Verse 1]
Oh me, oh my
How large a desire
To run from the streets in only our sheets
Kicking our shoes off and cling in the heat
I would watch a bead of sweat drip down
Tracing the curves of your soft frown
Furrowed for whim or furrowed for woe
[Chorus]
'Cause we should be swimming
Going long into the night as if we were different
We should be swimming
Oh we should be swimming
Going long into the night as if we were different
We should be swimming
[Verse 2]
Oh me, oh my
I'm feverish with this life
Of stumbling through hoops, tripping over these loops
Pushed by the pen and forced by the boot
So I look to you for some release
Tossed things aside in search of peace
Bruising your hand so hard I squeeze, oh
[Chorus]
'Cause we should be swimming
Going long into the night as if we were different
We should be swimming
Oh we should be swimming
Going logn into the night as if we were different
We should be swimming
[Bridge]
Hold your breath
Float down to the seabed
And we'll see how long we can sleep
(x4)
[Chorus]
'Cause we should be swimming
Going long into the night as if we were different
We should be swimming
Oh we should be swimming
Going long into the night as if we were different
We should be swimming
