[Verse 1]
What do you do when you've given up
How did this gold mine begin to rust
When 12 years old turns to 23
That bitch called time is a petty thief
No one hears what you didn't say
If you're not at the top, then you're in the way
And as long as you don't kill yourself no one cares that you're not okay

[Chorus]
Swim when you're bodies given out
Swim only you can do it for yourself
When the water is cold and your breathing is slow, keep going and you will live
When shelter is void and you're left with no choice just promise me you'll swim

[Verse 2]
What do you do when you've givеn up
How did this gold mine turn to dust
When 12 years old turns to 23
And family comfort turns to thеrapy
Prone to be alone
Like a fawn without a home
A dog without a bone
A disappointing milestone

[Chorus]
Swim when you're bodies given out
Swim only you can do it for yourself
When the water is cold and your breathing is slow, keep going and you will live
When shelter is void and you're left with no choice just promise me you'll swim
Keep your head high above
Breathe in, breathe out my love
