Swim Lyrics by Ani Difranco
Clean Lyric
Paragraph Lyric
you keep telling me i'm beautiful
but i feel a little less each time
your love is so colorful
it flashes like a neon sign
but i finally drove out where
the sky is dark enuf to see stars
and i found i missed no one
just listening to the swishing of distant cars

i hope i never see
the ocean again
pushing and pulling at me
as i go deeper and deeper in
til i'm so far from my shore
so far from what i came here for
i let you surround me
i let you drown me
out with your din
and then i learned how to swim

i was floating above myself
watching her do just what you wanted
poor little friendly ghost
wondering why her whole house feels haunted
i told myself i was strong enuf
that i had plenty of blood to give
and each elbow cradled a needle
but listless and faint ain't no way to live

so i hope i never see
the ocean again
pushing and pulling at me
as i go deeper and deeper in
til i'm so far from my shore
so far from what i came here for
i let you surround me
i let you drown me
out with your din
and then i learned how to swim

and you keep telling me i'm beautiful
but i feel less and less so each time
your love is so colorful
it flashes like a neon sign
but i finally drove out where
the sky is dark enuf to see the stars
and i found i missed no one
just listening to the swishing of distant cars
you keep telling me i'm beautiful   but i feel a little less each time   your love is so colorful   it flashes like a neon sign   but i finally drove out where   the sky is dark enuf to see stars   and i found i missed no one   just listening to the swishing of distant cars      i hope i never see   the ocean again   pushing and pulling at me   as i go deeper and deeper in   til i'm so far from my shore   so far from what i came here for   i let you surround me   i let you drown me   out with your din   and then i learned how to swim      i was floating above myself   watching her do just what you wanted   poor little friendly ghost   wondering why her whole house feels haunted   i told myself i was strong enuf   that i had plenty of blood to give   and each elbow cradled a needle   but listless and faint ain't no way to live      so i hope i never see   the ocean again   pushing and pulling at me   as i go deeper and deeper in   til i'm so far from my shore   so far from what i came here for   i let you surround me   i let you drown me   out with your din   and then i learned how to swim      and you keep telling me i'm beautiful   but i feel less and less so each time   your love is so colorful   it flashes like a neon sign   but i finally drove out where   the sky is dark enuf to see the stars   and i found i missed no one   just listening to the swishing of distant cars
