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
