Nick Kingswell - Swim

Keep watch
With eyes that that skim the seas
Shores lost, drifting like a leaf
Whole? right before my eyes
Endless blue
Endless night

You've got to hurt before you heal
You've got to earn a heart of steel
You've got to float before you learn
To swim .

I was only only trying not to sink
I was only trying

Three days
Not a breathe of wind
First rays
Sitting on my skin
? deeper than I think

Push me out
Pull me in

You've got to hurt before you heal
You've got to earn a heart of steel
You've got to float before you learn
To swim .

I was only only trying not to sink
I was only trying
I was only only trying not to sink
I was only trying

And I watch my guiding star
As it plunges to the dark
I should have thrown my heavy heart
To break the water,
Break my fall

You've got to hurt before you heal
You've got to earn a heart of steel
You've got to float before you learn
To swim .

And I was only trying not
To laugh before I cry
You've got to live before you die
You've got to float
Before you learn to swim

I was only trying not to sink
