Intro: |
Verses & Bridge: |
Nightswimming deserves |
a quiet night. |
The photograph on the dashboard, |
taken years ago, |
turned around backwards |
so the windshield shows. |
Every streetlight |
reveals the picture in reverse. |
Still, it's so much clearer. |
I forgot my shirt at |
the water's edge. |
The moon is low tonight. |
Repeat Bridge |
Nightswimming deserves a quiet night. |
I'm not sure all these people understand. |
It's not like years ago, |
The fear of getting caught, |
of recklessness and water. |
They cannot see me naked. |
These things, they go away, |
replaced by everyday. |
Nightswimming. Remembering that night. |
September's coming soon. |
I'm pining for the moon. |
And what if there were two |
side by side in orbit |
around the fairest sun? |
That bright, tight forever drum |
could not describe nightswimming. |
You, I thought I knew you. |
You, I cannot judge. |
You, I thought you knew me. |
This one laughing quietly |
underneath my breath. |
Nightswimming. |
Repeat Bridge |
Solo: |
The photograph reflects, |
every streetlight a reminder. |
Nightswimming deserves a quiet night, |
deserves a quiet night. |
