day two: favourite song


Jack's Mannequin - Swim

You 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 fire at me from a gun, cracking the armour, yeah.
I swim for brighter days despite the absence of sun.
Choking on salt water, I'm not giving in.
I swim.
You gotta swim through that nights that won't end.
Swim for your families, your lovers, your sisters and brothers and friends.
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 our heads above.
I found a tidal wave begging to tear down the day.
Memories like bullets, they fire at me from a gun, cracking the armour, yeah.
I swim for brighter days, despite the absence of sun.
Choking on salt water, I'm not giving in.
Cause I swim.
You gotta swim.
Swim in the dark.
There's no shame in drifting, feel the tides shifting and wait for the spark.
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 pull us away from our love...
Just keep your head above.
Just keep your head above, swim.
Just keep your head above, swim.
Yeah, swim.
Yeah, swim.
