Swim Lyrics

Always teaching me how to be
When your folks are not here to see
You crashing on the floor with me
But I can't sleep

And I don't wanna know
You've found another place to go
I copy everything practical
And for the last time I am sure

Ooh ooh, ooh
You are not alone
Ooh ooh
For the last time I am sure

Ooh ooh, ooh
You are not alone
Ooh ooh
For the last time I am sure

Hey
I know what to feel when you decide, oh why?
Hey
Where is the appeal when you don't try, try?

It's your only way to live
Three doors down and one room in
I lose my mind amongst your things
But I can't swim
It's the same, it's just like then
When I was nine and you were ten
I'm wishing we would still be friends
Where we move is where we end

Ooh ooh, ooh
You are not alone
Ooh ooh
For the last time I am sure

Ooh ooh, ooh
You are not alone
Ooh ooh
For the last time I am sure

Hey
I know what to feel when you decide, oh why?
Hey
Where is the appeal when you don't try, try?

But I can't swim
But I can't swim
But I can't swim
But I can't swim

Hey
I know what to feel when you decide, oh why?
Where is the appeal when you don't try, try?

Hey
I know what to feel when you decide, oh why?
Hey
Where is the appeal when you don't try, try?

What is the Meaning of Swim?

Navigating relationships can feel like treading water, and this song captures that struggle perfectly. The lyrics tell a story of someone trying to keep up with the expectations and changes in a relationship. They’re learning how to adapt and fit in, but deep down, they feel out of their depth—symbolized by the repeated line "But I can't swim." There's a sense of nostalgia for simpler times when friendship was uncomplicated. The chorus reassures that they're not alone, yet there's an underlying uncertainty about whether things will truly be okay. It’s a poignant reflection on growing up, feeling lost, and yearning for connection while grappling with the fear of being left behind.
