Swimming

Chorus
My heart was weak to fall
For the smile on your face
And the strength beneath your arms
Holding me in place

But my eyes were strong to see
Inside your heart's disgrace
And now I wish I could believe
The smile on your face

Verse
Your smile had sent me swimming
Swimming in the ocean
But the water rippled in the cold
The murky depths of your devotion

My blood was set afire
Licking through my veins
Stinging in each step I took
Closer to your flames

I was swimming, swimming fast
My muscles frozen in the cold
I forgot the pain when I started to sink
The flames were growing old

You didn't smile anymore
No words escaped your lips
And suddenly the flames were gone
Out to sea like ships

Chorus
My heart was weak to fall
For the smile on your face
And the strength beneath your arms
Holding me in place

But my eyes were strong to see
Inside your heart's disgrace
And now I wish I could believe
The smile on your face

Verse
You saw my hesitation
As I began to see the light
I found the end of the tunnel ahead
Yet nothing was quite right

Without you I felt nothing
I was numb from my deep swim
Freezing winds shook my resolve
I had nothing more to win

Back again, towards the flame
The warmth burned through my skin
But I pulled back, breaking free
Free of that cold swim

Chorus
My heart was weak to fall
For the smile on your face
And the strength beneath your arms
Holding me in place

But my eyes were strong to see
Inside your heart's disgrace
And now I wish I could believe
The smile on your face

Verse
I was swimming, swimming hard
But the water filled my lungs
Drowning in the ocean
To the water I succumb

I was swimming, until I sunk
Until I found the distant shore
I was swimming until I stopped
And now I swim no more
