[Verse 1]
Did a stupid dance on my princess bed
Champagne thoughts running through my head
16, what a dream I'm living in
Then I nearly crashed my car
On La Cienega Boulevard
Fell asleep, been pushing it too hard

[Pre-Chorus]
If you ain’t failing, you ain't trying
If you ain't failing, you ain’t trying

[Chorus]
Swim, sink, sink, swim
Get heart broke, hit rock bottom
Breathe out, breathe in
It's just the way it goes
You're up and you're down
You're low then you're high
You fly, then you fall
You fall, then you fly
And you try a little to stay out the middle
Gotta live before you die
Swim, sink, sink, swim

[Verse 2]
Out to swap hemispheres
Facing all my biggest fears
About to see if my music is cool or just weird
It's cool, ha
[Pre-Chorus]
If you ain't failing (You ain’t failing)
You ain’t trying (You ain't trying)
If you ain’t failing, you just lying

[Chorus]
Swim, sink, sink, swim
Get heart broke, hit rock bottom
Breathe out, breathe in
It's just the way it goes
You're up and you're down
You’re low then you're high
You fly, then you fall
You fall, then you fly
And you try a little to stay out the middle
Gotta live before you die
Swim, sink, sink, swim

[Bridge]
If you ain't failing, you're not trying
If you ain't failing, why don't you start trying?
If you ain't failing, let your light be blinding
If you ain't failing, you're just lying

[Chorus]
Swim, sink, sink, swim
Get heart broke, hit rock bottom
Breathe out, breathe in
It's just the way it goes
You're up and you're down
You're low then you're high
You fly, then you fall
You fall, then you fly
And you try a little to stay out the middle
Gotta live before you die
Swim, sink, sink, swim
[Outro]
Swim, sink, sink, swim
Try a little to stay out the middle
Gotta live before you die
