lyrics

I was swimming, I think I wanted to
There on the beach, and you were there too
Tide grew too heavy for my fragile limbs
Branches were breaking and I could not swim

Keep having these dreams
Like my teeth are crumbling
Oh, I’m drowning in a lake
What does it mean, what does it mean?
I swear I felt you there
Coalescing with the air
Consoling all my restless thoughts
Showing me not all is lost

Thought I was gonner when you jumped right in
Swam me to safety–I can breathe again
Even in the current, I felt safe in your arms
Now I’m fully lucid, out amongst the stars

Keep having these dreams
Like my teeth are crumbling
Oh, I’m drowning in a lake
What does it mean, what does it mean?
I swear I felt you there
Coalescing with the air
Consoling all my restless thoughts
Showing me not all is lost
Assuring me not all is lost

I think I wanted solitude, but you made gentle waves
Now, I’m twice as alive–grateful that you stayed
I think I saw you there, on the shore when I came to
And in the morning when I woke, still it was you
