Sleater-Kinney - The Swimmer

The swimmer is so far from the distant shore The only time she never feels alone On the land her body distorts In the water lines are true to her mind I can hardly see you now Are you getting closer and Do you know you're the one? They will never understand How washed up you feel on land The spotlight of the sun, it shines on The swimmer knows she'll never touch the floor She can float unharmed by murky wars And the land is as plain as her skin But the water shines like the star in her mind I can hardly see you now Are you getting closer and Do you know you're the one? They will never understand How washed up you feel on land The spotlight of the sun, it shines on
