Sink to the bottom
Only to wind up belly-up
On your bedroom floor
Innocuous form
I'm underwater
Half of the day, but still
You wade 'til I'm ready to float
And carry me home

We'll be alright in the morning
When the world is on fire, we'll be treading
In the yard 'til I'm ready to float
And you carry me home
And we're dancing outside in the purple dark
By the blood that we shed on the boulevard
I know that you'll carry me home
You carry me home

To swim
Swim
Swim
To swim

Locked to the love seat
Flash me your front teeth
It's cherry and bone
Cherry and bone
You are the athlete
I am the astronaut
For thousands of miles I float
Still, you carry me home

We'll be alright in the morning
When the world is on fire, we'll be treading
In the yard 'til I'm ready to float
And you carry me home
And we're dancing outside in the purple dark
By the blood that we shed on the boulevard
I know that you'll carry me home
You carry me home

To swim
Swim (The world is on fire)
Carry me (And I'm ready to float)
Carry me home
To swim
Swim (The world is on fire)
Swim
Ooh (And I'm ready to float)

Goodbye to my mother
Whose body I lived in
Turned blooded into water
And taught me to swim

We'll be alright in the morning
When the world is on fire, we'll be treading
In the yard 'til I'm ready to float
And you carry me home (Home)
And we're dancing outside in the purple dark
By the blood that we shed on the boulevard
I know that you'll carry me home
And you carry me home (Home)

To swim
Swim
To swim
Carry me home

To swim
