Lyrics
Swim
(music by Andrew Lubman, lyrics by Robert Deutsch)
It's been three days now, staring over the edge
feeling so close
but I swear
but I pledge
I would jump in the water if I thought I could swim
but it's been such a long time, the memory's so dim
If I can't swim then I surely will drown
but once into the blue, there's no turning around
Staring at my face in the water's reflection
the sun's burning me
I need some help, need some protection
But nothing would feel good like a long cool drink
Just when my heart's made up
I start to think
I would jump in the water if I thought I could swim
but it's been such a long time, the memory's so dim
If I can't swim everything will go black
but once I jump in, there's no turning back
But in my mind I've already swam to shore
So it was many miles, I could swim a thousand more.
I know when I reach land, this is the way I will feel
just got to take that first step
if it just weren't so real!
I would jump in the water if I thought I could swim
but it's been such a long time, the memory's so dim.
Should I stay in the boat, and long for the shore?
or do I throw myself in?
I can't wait anymore!
