swum Lyrics

I could live in peace

In the gutters of your house

Where amber leaves come pouring down

And you can be the tree

That lives and dies both once a year

But you always come alive again

Oh, I'm not one for patience

But I think I could wait forever

Just to fit between the spaces

Where our minds get stuck together

My blurry eyes look to their faces

Like your mind in stormy weather

My life in lines and glossy shapes

Same old lies and repeating tape

I've found

In here now

There's a sound place to be

'Cause I've swum beneath your water

I no longer need to breathe

Don't know

Where the current's flowing

Just know I've swum beneath your water

And I've sunken in your love

Doesn't have to be a messy one

But I've been here before

I promise I can't ask for more

I'm broken

Like a figurine

You used to play with when you were bored

You never fixed me so now I'm stored away

But I don't blame you

Some little kids never grow up

They're in their heads

With their eyes sewn shut

'Cause they can't take it

Could never take it in the first place

And you

You leave

A broken shard

beneath

the water

where it falls apart

I drown

In the sound

Of the waves in the sea

'Cause I've sunk beneath the water

Farther than you'll ever be

Oh, orange sky through the sun glow

I think I've swum beneath your water

And I'm never coming home

Come with me

Swim in between

The flowing waves

The endless stream

Where we've sunken in the water

There's no place I'd rather be

And if I'm old

If my life decays

I can still remember

The time we made

Where I had swum beneath your water

And I sunk into your lungs

Swum beneath your water

As I'm falling through the earth

Stuck beneath your love

And I can't find my way back home

Water turns to street

And the true state of the leaves

Is their color's faded dry

Where the gutters of this house reside

My feet can't touch the ground

My head's beside two satellites

To feel the distance where I am

From where your water took me down

I no longer need to drown

And though it's warmer being there

No we can't stay here in these waters anymore
