I don't know how to make this feeling stop When you're gone I don’t know how to really change my luck Don’t got no key to break the lock When the flood rushes on I don’t know what make of feeling stuck — I don’t got no way to toughen up When you’re gone I’m swimming I’m swimming I’m swimming Under Under the breaking waves They won’t be breaking me I went swimming And the shore is out of sight So why is it beginning To blur between the lines? I don’t know what make of feeling stuck I don’t got no way to toughen up When you’re gone I don’t know what will make me feel enough I don’t got no way to feel at All when the flood rushes on I’m swimming I’m swimming I’m swimming Under Under the breaking waves They won’t be I’ll get better Pretty as ever Alone I learn to float It's hard up there To feel again When it pours out from my throat We all have brittle and bad dreams But I’m in the middle of stirring things And I not giving up anything In all the wars to come I’m swimming I’m swimming I’m swimming Under Under the breaking waves They won’t be breaking me Under the breaking waves They won’t be breaking me I don’t know what make of feeling stuck I don’t got no way to toughen up When you’re gone I don’t know how to say which way is up I don't know how to make this feeling stop When you’re gone
