Nightswimming, AR Lyrics
I will sneak you off of the back-porch
Let the grasses bend in our breeze
We'll parade our whistling wily ways
Lightning flies nobbling our knees
Behold the glow
So, am I living too late?
And wasn't this night a well-rehearsed
A set-verse that spoke of your face
And know the river won't wait
You say this, you say, oh
You say:
"I think that we oughta go nightswimming,"
This night fills me up
I'm a pocket
Water above, water below
Lift my arm, now leave it dangling
Watch, the land turns away from the harsh shore
I've read this before
So, am I living too late?
And wasn't this night, oh, set to verse
And well-rehearsed
And then set to song?
And have I waited too long?
Don't let our youth go to waste
Come on
Say that you wanna go, oh, nightswimming
Let the grasses bend in our breeze
We'll parade our whistling wily ways
Lightning flies nobbling our knees
Behold the glow
And wasn't this night a well-rehearsed
A set-verse that spoke of your face
You say this, you say, oh
You say:
"I think that we oughta go nightswimming,"
I'm a pocket
Water above, water below
Lift my arm, now leave it dangling
Watch, the land turns away from the harsh shore
I've read this before
And wasn't this night, oh, set to verse
And well-rehearsed
And then set to song?
And have I waited too long?
Come on
Say that you wanna go, oh, nightswimming

I completely love this song.
Nightswimming represents recklessness in general, I think. The singer is wondering if she's wasted all of her best years and if she's too old to goof off a little. I went nightswimming in the ocean a couple months ago, and it really made me feel alive. A lot of the singer's angst could be that they're reconnecting with a feeling they've lost and wondering if they'll ever feel it again.
