Swim Where We Used to Dance
LYRICS
VERSE 1
they told us not to look at the water
they told us we’d be safe with our sons and daughters
PRE CHORUS
fall I won’t fall
give, i wont give
wont shake my legs
wont shake my head
now in the dark
we’re told this wont last
now in the dark
we swim where we used to dance
VERSE 2
they told us we’d be safe underwater
the floors were weeping tears and we ignored them
PRE CHORUS
run, i wont run
live I won’t live
wont shake my legs
wont shake my head
now in the dark
what do I become?
now we’ll take our last chance
and swim where we used to dance
They Won’t Find Tears on Our Bodies
LYRICS
AKA “it won’t be written on a billboard (so let’s just do it here and now)”
far away from hospitals
city roads in covered snow
and shaky memories of me
china in our living rooms
cold sheets, empty shoes
no, a monster doesn’t have to ask please
female vocals: I’m here for you
male vocals: they won’t find tears on our body
just you holding me, just you and me
for 4 months an old heart cried
then the man in black followed his bride
Ben could you really risk waiting like this?
it won’t be written on a sign
magnetic juice, embedded heat
it was never really ours to keep
so before this song ends,
lay here, come down and sing with me?
female vocals: I’m here for you
male vocals: they won’t find tears on our body
just you holding me, just you and me
let me let you go
as we came, with sparkles in our eyes
cos one of us will slip when the other comes untied
oh if you’re in, I’m in
we’ll leave the others round the yard to spread our sins
follow me in
