Swimmer Lyrics

You want to pull me in but I'm not a swimmer
I wish I could jump in, but the water is too dark
You do things without thinking, you still can

You change directions easily, with your eyes half-closed
I look out the rear view at the trees on the side of the road
You do things without thinking, you still can

We’ll find the pace to walk in, when I’ve touched the ground
If you could let me know when you’re slowing down

You’re running, running wild in the city’s manic night
I'm waiting, waiting still for the soothing morning light
You do things without thinking, you still can

We’ll find the pace to walk in, when I’ve touched the ground
If you could let me know when you’re slowing down
Oh we’ll find the pace to walk in, when I’ve touched the ground
If you could let me know when you’re slowing down

You do things without thinking, you still can
We’ll find the pace to walk in, when I’ve touched the ground
If you could let me know when you’re slowing down

I'm not a swimmer
I'm not a swimmer
I'm not a swimmer anymore

You want to pull me in but I'm not a swimmer
I wish I could jump in, but the water is too dark
You do things without thinking, you still can

You change directions easily, with your eyes half-closed
I look out the rear view at the trees on the side of the road
You do things without thinking, you still can

We’ll find the pace to walk in, when I’ve touched the ground
If you could let me know when you’re slowing down

You’re running, running wild in the city’s manic night
I'm waiting, waiting still for the soothing morning light
You do things without thinking, you still can

We’ll find the pace to walk in, when I’ve touched the ground
If you could let me know when you’re slowing down
Oh we’ll find the pace to walk in, when I’ve touched the ground
If you could let me know when you’re slowing down

You do things without thinking, you still can
We’ll find the pace to walk in, when I’ve touched the ground
If you could let me know when you’re slowing down

I'm not a swimmer
I'm not a swimmer
I'm not a swimmer anymore

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
