[English]
Swim, swim
The water dripping from you
Swim, swim
I could spend my whole life just looking at you
Swim, swim
This is how it all begins
Swim, swim
I just want to dive in
I just want to dive in
This cruel world
Even if it disappears and I open my eyes, it’s still a crazy world
World, just show me one place to breathe on the map
This cruel world, in this cruel world, I’m the only one pretending to be good
I don’t know what to do
I’ve fallen too deep, where are you?
Oh, you don’t even need to love me madly
You know I don’t hide anything
It’s too easy
Don’t overthink it
On a night like tonight
I just want to wander
Right here, with the moon and the sharks
No need to think, just
Swim, swim
The water dripping from you
Swim, swim
I could spend my whole life just looking at you
Swim, swim
This is how it all begins
Swim, swim
I just want to dive in
I just want to dive in
Deep, deep water
Water too deep
I’ll push off the bottom and rise
I’m never afraid
Yeah, you know me
Yeah, you know me
Sitting by the shore
Now I’m ready to embrace the sea
I feel the towering waves rolling in
Why are you running? It’s okay to dive in
The salty taste on my tongue, she’s amazing
You’re the only place I want to stay
Yeah
Swim, swim
The water dripping from you
Swim, swim
I could spend my whole life just looking at you
Swim, swim
This is how it all begins
Swim, swim
I just want to dive in
I just want to dive in
Splash, floating on the water
With my two feet, I’ll stir up the waves
Splash, the water drips off
I just want to see it through to the end
Down here, I don’t chase time
Baby, not everything has to be sad
I turn my back on the land
I just want to dive in
I just want to dive in
Swim, swim
The water dripping from you
Swim, swim
I could spend my whole life just looking at you
Swim, swim
This is how it all begins
Swim, swim
I just want to dive in
I just want to dive in
