One of my favourite songs by this band..I get this feeling of two people in their own worlds, they are supposed to be close but there's this dense/muffled space in between.
Also it could also be a kind of projection; you project or imagine yourself in another person's house. You make time go slower so you can stay around for longer, you live 'another life' that isn't your own. A kind of playful childishness in "I play at night in your house." Pretending to swim could not only mean sinking in a relationship that is failing but keeping on the surface of things, keeping everything running smoothly, "playing" rather than "drowning" in the uncertainty/fear of strong emotion. Drowning seems to be inevitable though.
