Backstroke

Elegantly

Cali from town's got a crush on you

Over coffee

I pick your brain all afternoon

Pick up your cold feet

She will never love you like I do

I'll swim backstroke to keep from drowning

Nose to the sky, carve your name in the baby blue

(And I'll fall asleep to the sounds of the lightning)

I'll swim backstroke to keep from drowning

Nose to the sky, carve your name in the baby blue

(And I'll fall asleep to the sounds of the lightning)

Waiting, waiting, waiting

I keep waiting, waiting, waiting

I keep waiting, waiting, waiting

I keep waiting, waiting, waiting

Elegantly

I stand poised waiting for the end

Staring straight back at me

Tiny little tears won't get out of my head

Legs keeping me afloat

Weaving in the deepest pits of a shallow love

I know that you're leaving

Keep me in undertow

Oh, why you deceive me

This feeling in my bones

I know that you're leaving

I'll swim backstroke to keep from drowning

Nose to the sky, carve your name in the baby blue

(And I'll fall asleep to the sounds of the lightning)

I'll swim backstroke to keep from drowning

Nose to the sky, carve your name in the baby blue

(And I'll fall asleep to the sounds of the lightning)

All of the strangers

And all of the foes

Come and stand by the water

Where so many froze

And I can't feel my body, I feel all their eyes

But I won't turn and look

Keep my nose to the sky

And it's awfully silent

The quiet will ring in my ears underneath

As I'm starting to sink

And as I see the bottom it's all I can do

To keep waiting and waiting, waiting for you

I keep waiting, waiting, waiting for you

I keep waiting, waiting, waiting for you

I keep waiting, waiting, waiting for you

I keep waiting, waiting, waiting for you

I keep waiting, waiting, waiting for you

I keep waiting, waiting, waiting for you

I keep waiting, waiting, waiting for you

But you're weighing me, weighing me, weighing me further
