lyrics

[partial lyrics]

she’s watching me from the end of the bar
the need in her eyes impossible to ignore
I try and look away, it doesn’t matter any longer
she leads me into the deep dark water

[chorus]

swimming the dark backwards
it’s like kinda of like dying
the mind learns by doing
the heart learns by trying

[verse 2]

we talk and play these silly games
each of us knowing how this will end
waist deep(?) in treading water
one last breath and we both go under

[chorus]
swimming the dark backwards
it’s like kinda of like dying
the mind learns by doing
the heart learns by trying


[bridge]

[clap break] 4 measures



[verse 2]

a chance encounter, never meant to be
______________ glance away
each of us unsure what to say
___________ all over the ______

[chorus]
swimming the dark backwards
it’s like kinda of like dying
the mind learns by doing
the heart learns by trying

[chorus]
swimming the dark backwards...
