Learning To Swim Lyrics


Adolescents Learning To Swim


Somebody asked me
“What makes you tick?”
Thought she was talking about time
Just didn’t click

A step out of time - Step out of time
A step out of sync - Step out of time
A step out of line - Step out of line
A step out of sync - Step out of line

Spent my life navigating your social world
Full of rules and regulations
Subtle curves and subtle swirls
I study your every gesture
Every tic, and every word
Just trying to find an anchor
In this sea of absurd

A step out of time - Step out of time
A step out of sync - Step out of time
A step out of line - Step out of line
A step out of sync - Step out of line
[x2]

I’m going to try explaining
What I’m talking about
Try to picture a pool full of water
No sides and no way out
The cruel joke is no one told you
That you’ll have to swim
They tie your hands behind your back
And then they throw you in

A step out of time - Step out of time
A step out of sync - Step out of time
A step out of line - Step out of line
A step out of sync - Step out of line
[x2]
