Sink or Swim — текст песни (Kris Delmhorst)

It`s a thin thin sky, can`t always hold me down
And it`s a long long day by the time the night rolls around
Now it`s all hashed out and we`ve shaken on the deal
But if it all came down to yes or no I would tell them this was real
I would tell them

That it`s a crowded room, you can`t know everyone`s name
This is a big big world and I don`t think you can feel all its pain
That`s why we`re all spread out and we each face our chosen few
And if it all came down to fight or flight I would take it on for you
I would take it all on for you

But it never sounds true when I try to say
That I hope I find you at the end of my day

is a living thing, and each one leaves me changed
One by one they breathe into me, and is it any wonder I seem strange?
And now it`s all adrift
And we`re moving though we don`t know how
Because it all comes down to sink or swim and I am
Swimming for it now, I am
Swimming for it now, I am
Swimming for it now
