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
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
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
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
Hold your breath Float down to this sea bed And we'll see how long we can sleep (x4)
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
