Cover art for Swimming lyrics by Florence + the Machine

I have a version (length: 3:00) that goes like this:

Your songs remind me of swimming, Which I forgot when I started to sink Dragged further away from the shore, And deeper into the drink

I was sinking, now I'm sunk And I was drinking, now I'm drunk Oh I was sinking, now I'm sunk, And I was drinking, oh but now I'm drunk

I tried to remember the chorus, I can't remember the verse Cause that song that sent me swimming, Is now the life jacket that burst

Rotting like a wreck on the ocean floor, Sinking like a siren that can't swim anymore Your songs remind me of swimming, But I can't swim anymore

Then all of a sudden, I heard a note, It started in my chest and ended in my throat Then I realized, Then I realized, I was swimming, Yes I was swimming, And now I'm swimming, Yes I am

Your songs remind me of swimming, Which I forgot when I started to sink
