I'm swimming all the time   I'm swimming for my life   And all i do is swim   I'm swimming for my life      You can swim she said   You can swim she said      More and more of less and less   The charm of no success   It's nowhere to be seen   It's someone else's dream      Words too short to speak   Words i meant to keep   I don't understand   I don't understand   Words too short to speak   Words i meant to keep   Don't know what to be you're confusing me      I never understood   Just how she thought i could   Me and my future wife   Above a plain of knives      You can swim she said   You can swim she said      I'm swimming all the time   I'm swimming for my life   And on some dreary day   I'll swim my life away      Words too short to speak   Words i meant to keep   I don't understand   I don't understand   Words too short to speak   Words i meant to keep   Don't know what to be you're confusing me
