Swim out, not waving but drowning
I can feel you crying, though they tell me you're fine
Swim out, just keep treading water
If I could only see you, I could throw you a line
And I say ooh, bobbing on this ocean
You rise and fall with every ebb and flow
And I say ooh, quiet in the commotion
I'll be your rock and that's all you need to know
Swim out, out through all my faults
And all the stupid things that I have said and done
Swim out, find a place to shelter
From the grilled confessional, the gilted gun
And I say ooh, bobbing on this ocean
You rise and fall with every ebb and flow
And I say ooh, quiet in the commotion
I'll be your rock, just hang on and don't let go
Ooh, see it in slow motion
Warm skies above and a firm footing down below
Ooh, you can be my ocean
I'll be your rock and that's all you need to know
Swim out, not waving but drowning
I can feel you crying, though they tell me you're fine
Swim out, just keep treading water
If I could only see you
If I could only see you
If I could only see you
