Oh how it hardens and it numbs. And the rest of me is a version of man built to collapse into crumbs And if I hadn't come down to the coast to disappear I may have died in a land-slide of the rocks, the hopes and fears. {refrain} So swim until you can't see land Swim until you can't see land Swim until you can't see land Are you a man or are you a bag of sand? / D G / / / A G / {repeat} Up to my knees now, do I wait? Do I dive? The sea has seen my like before though it's my first and perhaps last time Let's call me a baptist, call this the drowning of the past She's there on the shoreline, throwing stones at my back {refrain} x2 Now the water's taller than me, and the land is a marker line All I am is a body adrift in water, salt and sky / D G / / {refrain} x2 |
