Originally released on the album `Build a Harbour Immediately' on Wise Blood Industries, August 2011.

lyrics

You gave in
Scratching your nails
across the sink
And dive in
Into this war
we're living in
and the swell...
swelling sea behind us
and over us
(HAH!)

You saved up,
Oh, saved up for that summer weave
but the moths
in the winter had
eaten into it

Because you came and
you wanted to show
the world
that you hadn't been
swallowed up
into the fluttering wind
(HAH!)

Whoa, just swim!

So just swim
Whoo-hoo-hoo-hoo
Whoa, just swim!

Because you came and
you wanted to show
the world
that you hadn't been
swallowed up
into the fluttering wind
(HAH!)

You sewed up
the holes in your summer dress
but you said
it was still too cold
for you to wear

Because you came and
you wanted to show
the world
that you hadn't been
swallowed up
into the fluttering wind
(HAH!)

Whoa, just swim!

So just swim
Whoo-hoo-hoo-hoo
Whoa, just swim!

(Because you came and
you wanted to show them
that you hadn't been
swallowed up
into the fluttering wind)
