Teach me how to swim
For my life, for my life
When it all begins
We survive, we survive

Hold on tight, hold the tide
'Cause in my head, the world is mine
Hold the tide, hold the tide
'Cause in my head, the world is mine
Ah, ah, ah

Teach us how to grit
I decide, and get by
We live amongst the dead
What a time to be alive
When the barrel of the gun
Shoots organised form
It splits their sides

So hold your sides, hold the tide
'Cause in my head, the world is mine
Hold the tide, hold the tide
'Cause in my head, the world is mine

But I'm a dream procrastinator
Got things to do
Gotta see a man
A power dog got sheep to shoot
But I'm a criminal evader
And you're in pursuit
The depths you gotta go
The depths you gotta go
To make things right
The depths you gotta go
The depths you gotta go
To make things right
Teach me how to swim
For my life, for my life

I'll teach you how to swim
For your life (All to see the same signs)
I'll teach you how to swim
For your life
Oh

Hold the tide, hold the tide
'Cause in my head, the world is mine
Hold the tide, hold the tide
'Cause in my head, the world is mine
(Hold the tide)
('Cause in my head, the world is mine)
(Hold the tide, hold the tide)
('Cause in my head, the world is mine)
