How To Swim by Oh Village Lyrics

When you made your mind you told me, brother
All about the life I'd soon discover
Looking through your eyes, I saw the changes
Soon for me to find I would embrace it

You stood neck deep there in water so freely

I'm not coming in, but oh I'm sure it's fine
You can have your love, but I'm quite happy dry
Then the raging wind, it led my fingers in
There it touched my heart, but I'm not coming in

Soon it pulled me down, water rushing past my ears
Tearing off the scars that defined my skin for years
Never short of breath, I swam without a doubt
There it held my heart, oh I'm not coming out

We stood neck deep there in water so freely

When I made my mind, I wasn't ready
Giving my life while so unsteady
Now, I don't know how to swim, but somehow I did
I don't know how to swim
