Lanterns On The Lake Swimming Lessons Lyrics

For God's sake, look at me straight
It will all be fine by the time we wake
You know you've been entombed in your own doubt
Like a floodlight in a power cut
Or Vincent's Starry Night with the colour drained
Like a monochrome king lying in state

And you'll never learn to swim keeping one foot on the ground

When they come for us pull me in tight anyway
And when they take their aim
Repeat after me when I say "I think the time's come"

This fear that consumes you will be gone by the time those flowers bloom And may you never look back

Because you'll never learn to swim keeping one foot on the ground

When they come for us pull me in tight anyway
And when they take their aim
Repeat after me when I say "I think the time's come to let go of the side"

I think the time's come to let go of the side
I think the time's come to let go of the side
I think the time's come
