Attempted Mustache
The Swimming Song
“ This summer I swam in the ocean
And I swam in a swimming pool
Salt my wounds, chlorined my eyes
I'm a self destructive fool
I'm a self destructive fool” |

Nightswimming
“ Nightswimming deserves a quiet night
I'm not sure all these people understand
It's not like years ago
The fear of getting caught
Of recklessness and water
They cannot see me naked
These things, they go away
Replaced by everyday” |

Swim Until You Can’t See Land
“ Swim until you can't see land
Swim until you can't see land
Swim until you can't see land
Are you a man? Are you a bag of sand?” |

Alas, I Cannot Swim
Crawled Out of the Sea
“ Oh you crawled out of the sea
Straight into my arms,
Straight into my arms” |

Deep Water
“ I'm drifting in deep waters
Alone with my self-doubting, again
Try not to struggle this time
For I will weather the storm…
No matter how far I drift
Deep waters (deep waters)
Won't scare me tonight“ |

Swimming Lesson
“ And if you feel like you can't swim
When you're thrown in the lake
Just watch the bugs
Passin' by you as you
Slip under their wake
Again” |

“ Swimming
I wish I was swimming
I wish I was swimming
I wish I was
I wishwishwishawas
Bring the mask and snorkel
Bring the flippers also
Bring the frisbee baby
Bring something to drink
Bring your purple bathing suit…” |

“ I'm about to drive in the ocean
I'ma try to swim from somethin' bigger than me
Kick off my shoes
And swim good, and swim good
Take off this suit
And swim good, and swim good, good” |

“ I saw you down there
I know you were tired
I saw you
You looked like a swimmer
I wanna be with you
All of the time
Why can't you satisfy?” |

Burned out roman candle calling cards
Someone forgot the golden rule
Let's go find another swimming pool” |

Women We Haven’t Met Yet
“ Tonight the bay's a pane of glass-
Let's break it.
Our bodies ache to swim
So let's swim.
We're drunk enough to dull the cold
Take off all the clothes, let's go.” |

Swim
“ I can't carry these sins on my back
Don't want to carry any more
I'm gonna carry this train off the track
I'm gonna swim to the ocean floor
Crash to the other shore
Swim to the ocean floor” |

Swimming high on a lea in an Eden
Running all of the leads you've been leaving” |

Drift Dive
“ Slow it down, wait it out
"We can't run, but we can go swimming"
Diving in late at night, we come together
Dissolving into a million pieces in a billion places
A million pieces in a billion places
A million pieces in a billion places” |

To Bring You My Love
Down By the Water
“ Little fish, big fish, swimming in the water
Come back here, man, gimme my daughter
Little fish, big fish, swimming in the water
Come back here, man, gimme my daughter” |

The River
The River
“ I come from down in the valley
Where, mister, when you're young
They bring you up to do like your daddy done
Me and Mary we met in high school
When she was just seventeen
We drive out of this valley
Down to where the fields were green
We'd go down to the river
And into the river we'd dive
Oh, down to the river we'd ride” |
