The phone cut out as I was telling you
And my hair turned grey as you were telling me
You carry my thoughts off one by one
To the shoreline, deep into the dark

Where we threw off our clothes
And we tried to swim out

I hit a dog on my way home
They stare you down in the middle of the road
I got home to a bottle and a book

But Oh! The one you sleep with
Should be the one you dream with
Not the one you think you need

We went swimming, we went swimming
With the phosphorescence and the sharks
We went swimming, we went swimming
With the phosphorescence and the sharks

Where we threw off our clothes
And we tried to swim out
Where we threw off our clothes
And we tried to forget it
But Oh! The one you sleep with
Should be the one you dream with
Not the one you think you need

Not the one you think you need
Not the one you think you need
Not the one you think you need
Not the one, not the one no!
But Oh!
