Swim, swim
I just wanna dive, I just wanna dive
Bad world, gone away and I still wake up in this mad world
Name a place that I could breathe on this map, world
Lookin' like a goody, goody in this bad world, bad world
Don't know how to act, girl
I'm in the deep, tell me where the hell you at, girl?
Oh, you ain't even gotta love me bad, girl
You know that I'm never holdin' back, girl
Yeah

Take it off the ground, I ain't never gettin' cold feet
Yeah, you know me, yeah, you know me
Sittin' on the shore, now I'm ready for the whole sea
I can feel the high waves comin' (Yeah)
Why you run away? You can run in (Yeah)
Salt on my tongue, she's stunnin' (Oh)
You're the only place that I wanna be, yeah

Under here, we don't chase the time
Baby, everything can't be so sad (So sad)
Turn my face from the land

Water falling off your skin
Swim, swim
I could spend a lifetime watching you
