Swim (Music Box)

Youve gotta swim
Swim for your life
Swim for the music that saves you
When youre not so sure youll survive
Youve gotta swim
And swim when it hurts
The whole world is watching
You havent come this far to fall off the earth
The currents will pull you
Away from your love
Just keep your head above
I found a tidal wave begging to tear down the dawn
Memories like bullets they fired at me from a gun
A crack in the armor
I swim for brighter days
Despite the absence of sun
Choking on saltwater
Im not giving in
I swim
Youve gotta swim
Through nights that wont end
Swim for your families
Your lovers
Your sisters and brothers
And friends
Youve gotta swim
Through wars without cause
Swim for the lost politicians
Who dont see their greed as a flaw
The currents will pull us
Away from our love
Just keep your head above
I found a tidal wave begging to tear down the dawn
Memories like bullets they fired at me from a gun
A crack in the armor
I swim for brighter days
Despite the absence of sun
Choking on saltwater
Im not giving in
I swim
Youve gotta swim
Swim in the dark
Theres no shame in drifting
Feel the tide shifting
And wait for the spark
Youve gotta swim
Dont let yourself sink
Just find the horizon
I promise you its not as far as you think
The currents will drag us
Away from our love
Just keep your head above
