The Swimmer

Beneath the surface I have found true despair

As my lungs fill with water and I gasp out for air

The life in my eyes begins to fade

While my inner transgressions remain unpaid

I can't feel my own skin

Drowning in the undertow

I'll never make it out alive

I need you to revive me

I can't breathe

The weight of the world is pulling me under

Keep my head above water

So I can see you again

The waves crash upon me

Over and over, over and over

And I'm drowning in the sunset baby

Will you revive me

My fate and is one that only I will know

I feel the wrath of all that lies below

I think a shark just swam right by my leg

When will you realize that this is the end

On a ship lost at sea

This storm is headed for me

In an ocean of my fears

Not a single life jacket here

I've fallen off the edge

I never learned how to swim

I kick and I scream

Caught in the rip tide

Deeper and deeper I need a lifeguard or something

I need them here

Contact the coast guard

No, seriously, help

I'm not that buoyant

I need you to revive me

I can't breathe

The weight of the world is pulling me under

Keep my head above water

So I can see you again

The waves crash upon me

Over and over, over and over

And I'm drowning in the sunset baby

Will you revive me

Grab your partner and gather ��round

We're about to go downtown

This is how we do it in Tennessee

Watch carefully and play that cowbell

Red solo cups and chewing tobacco
