Ocean LeClair - I Thought I Could Swim Lyrics

It's the funniest thing
I thought I could swim

It's the funniest thing
I thought I could swim
I thought I could swim

I gained it all
Then lost it again

This isn't real
My minds not my friend
I thought I could swim

Bring the trophies
Bring the condoms, bring the wine
Bring the loose ends
Bring the nonsense
Bring the perfume, bring the lip-balm
Bring the toothbrush, bring the calm in the storm
That's one thing I don't got

Bring the music
Bring the freedom, bring the fear
Bring the beauty
Bring the stories
Bring the poetry
Bring the body

That's how you got me
Your name was in my book
I filled up a few hundred
With everything you took from me
Look at me do you recognise me now?
You're just some empty e-boy boy I used to write about
All these stupid animals tattooed on your chest are like our secret midnight whispers - meaningless
I've banished you forever
The Pisces moon was up
You turned me into a beggar
I turned you into God

Did you know you devilish boy
Playing with my heart like I'm your favourite toy
You could almost call it art
The way you held my hand on our evening walks
You will never understand that you had my f*cking heart

I thought I could swim
I thought I could swim
I thought I could swim

I don't know what to tell you I got everything you need
You'll never meet another so dangerous and sweet
I know I cannot help you with serenity and peace
But if I give you wings to fly, you'll have no purpose for your feet

Bring the trophies
Bring the condoms, bring the wine
Bring the loose ends
Bring the nonsense
Bring the perfume, bring the lip-balm
Bring the toothbrush, bring the calm in the storm
That's one thing I don't got

Bring the music
Bring the freedom, bring the fear
Bring you coffee on a Sunday
Bring you laughter, bring you tears
Bring you peace - Got a lot

Did you know?
Cause I think you did
Months went by of loving you
You foolish little kid

Careless loving at your fathers house
Kissing every inch of you
Baby was it obvious?

Did we wake East London up?
Loving you was not enough
Sipping on my tea I said: "I'll kill my feelings dead."

Just another boy
Just another heart
Just another girl
Falling apart

Just another ghost
Leaving its mark
Just another devil
Who's playing with my heart

Did you know you devilish boy
Playing with my heart like I'm your favourite toy
You could almost call it art
The way you held my hand on our evening walks
You'll never understand that you had my f*cking heart

Bring the madness
Bring the wild sex, bring the wine
Bring the loose ends
Bring the nonsense
Bring the perfume, bring the lip-balm
Bring the toothbrush bring the calm in the storm
That's one thing I don't got

Bring the music
Bring the freedom, bring the fear
Bring you coffee on a Sunday
Bring you laughter, bring you tears
Bring you peace - Got a lot
But that's something I don't got
