Story Behind The Song
Many friends splitting up at the same time, I wrote this lyric to help them to know they can "lose love and still choose love somewhere new". Entire melody, lyrics and chords came very quickly, this was a gift song.

Moody, atmospheric, acoustic guitar-based song with effected electric lead gtr echoing the main melody throughout. Melodic, intense, longing-filled feel. Lyrics are about losing love and finally choosing to love again and move on.

Lyrics
If your face is wet from a love you can?t forget,
your heart broken, an ocean of regret taking your days
as you learn how to swim this craziness, to swim this
through words you said and those unspoken,
your heart smokin?, an ocean of time to think it through,
as you learn how to swim these blues, to swim this.
BR: Where?s the love you put on that pedestal,
you took as the best of all, you gave in a fit of falling,
falling, oh falling?
instr. section- violin
New one to hold you, a new one to ease those blues,
Good friends to enfold you, ?til you know you can lose love
and still choose love somewhere new, and swim
La da di ah, la da di ah, mmmhm, swim this, swim this?
So if your face is wet from a love you can?t forget, Swim this.
