just keep your head above...

i need to remember to swim...

you gotta swim
swim for your life
swim for the music that saves you
when you're not so sure you'll survive
you gotta swim
swim when it hurts
the whole world is watching
you haven't come this far
to fall off the earth
the currents will pull you
away from your love
just keep your head above

i found a tidal wave
begging to tear down the dawn
memories like bullets
they fired at me from a gun
cracking me open yeah
i swim to brighter days
despite the absence of sun
choking on salt water
i'm not giving in
i swim

you gotta swim
swim in the dark
there's an ocean to drift in
feel the tide shifting away from the spark
yeah you gotta swim
don't let yourself sink
just follow the horizon
i promise you it's not as far as you think
the currents will drag us away from our love
just keep your head above
just keep your head above
swim
just keep your head above
swim, swim
just keep your head above
swim
