Letra de I Can't Swim

She was naked
She was waiting by the seaside
She was crying
She was filling up the ocean for me
Because she knows I can't swim
All the wailing and the sobbing on the hour
C'mon darling
C'mon c'mon c'mon
You know you know I can't swim
I need air
Just some oxygen, I think it's only fair
A reprieve, a pardon, please
I've read my sentence and it seems a tad extreme
The tears kept raining all night
With a warm, salty sting
The coastline stretches for days
Now it's all I see
I play the fool, I play dumb
I kept the flow of denials
Can't believe I let my excuses up to no fire
Each one a dead albatross and a one-way ticket to Devil's Isle
It's five fourteen in the morning
It's bad, bad, bad as you go
I plead with the sun to called on the dawn:
Where you hiding?
Where you hiding?
She was golden and devoted to the shoreline
She was young, beautiful and her skin was on fire
And she knows I can't swim
I never learned
So I'm not sure what songs the sirens use to lure
A wayward lad whose legs need land
I've been convicted and most certainly condemned
To drift each nautical mile
Under a blistering heat
Is this heaven or hell?
Or in between?
I play the fool,I play dumb
I kept the flow of denials
Can't believe I let my excuses up to no fire
Each one a dead albatross and a one-way ticket to Devil's Isle
It's five fourteen in the morning
It's bad, bad, bad as you go
I played with the sun to called on the dawn:
Where you hiding?
Where you hiding?
Don't take my heart
Cuz it's a worthless little stone
And without it I would float
All my days and nights
I'd rather sink to the floor than continue with this pyre
So don't take my heart
Cuz it's a worthless little stone
And without it I would float
All my days and nights
