(0:00): [Music starts]

(0:09): Finding my feet as it closes in

Rising up to my knees

Diving in

Bring me back softly

I won’t give in

Time moves slowly

Sink or Swim

[humming]

Swim

 And a storm is breaking my mind

Rivers running from my eyes

And I hate to drag you down, down, down

But I know you’ll bring me back, bring me back this time.

[music playing]

(1:09) Growing into the ground, but he’s turned to clay

Heat of my heart, as it flows away

Bring me back softly. I can’t give in

 Time moves slowly. Sink or Swim

[humming]

Swim.

And a storm is breaking in my mind

 Rivers running from my eyes

 And I hate to drag you down, down, down

 But I know you’ll bring me back, bring me back this time

And a storm is breaking my mind

Rivers running from my eyes

And I hate to drag you down, down, down

But I know you’ll bring me back, bring me to the ground spin me ‘round this time

Would you sink or swim

Would you sink or swim

Would you sink or swim

Would you sink or swim

And a storm is breaking in my mind

Rivers running from my eyes

And I hate to drag you down, down, down

But I know you’ll bring me back, bring me back this time

And a storm is breaking my mind

Rivers running from my eyes

And I hate to drag you down, down, down

But I know you’ll bring me back, bring me to the ground spin me ‘round this time

Losing my feet as it closes in

Rising up to me knees

Diving in

Bring me back softly

I can’t give in

Time moves slowly

Sink or Swim
