Swim Lyrics - The Glass Passenger - Jack's Mannequin

You've gotta swim, swim for your life 

Swim for the music that saves you 

When you're not so sure you'll survive 

You gotta swim and swim when it hurts 

The whole world is watching 

You haven't 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 

Crack in the armor, yeah 

I swim for brighter days despite the absence of sun 

Choking on salt water 

But I'm not giving in, I swim 

You gotta swim for nights that won't end 

Swim for your family as your lovers, your sisters 

And brothers, and friends 

Yeah, you gotta swim through wars without cause 

Swim for the lost politicians 

Who don't 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, yeah 

I swim for brighter days despite of the absence of sun 

Choking on salt water 

I'm not giving in, well, I'm not giving in, I swim 

You gotta swim, swim in the dark 

There's no shame in drifting 

Feel the tide shifting and wait for the spark 

Yeah, you gotta swim, don't let yourself sink 

Just find the horizon 

I promise you, it's not as far as you think 

The currents will drag us away from our love 

Just keep your head above 

Just keep your head above, swim 

Just keep your head above, swim, swim 

Just keep your head above, swim
