The water's cold
A storm is approaching
Not much of a metaphor this is
Is this the firm ground that I begged for?
Seems to be another reef
Then the wave comes and I know I'll never go back
Can you tie me to the mast so I don't fall from the deck
And if I do, could you
Swim with me, swim with me
I'll never forget
Swim with me, swim with me
I'll never forget again
My clothes are wet I see things clearer
So much clearer than I did
When we were walking hand in hand in the harbor
Watching ships come and go
Then the wave comes and I know I'll never go back
Can you tie me to the mast so I don't fall from the deck
And if I do, could you
Swim with me, swim with me
I'll never forget
Swim with me, swim with me
I'll never forget again
This distorted surface you see
Is the mirror of my soul
And this gale is our fear
That the wind will take control
But our vessel's way too sound
For the storm to swallow
I know someday we'll stand on the ground
Feet in the water so shallow
