baby swim

So hold me close and I'll bring you in

The water's cold, so baby swim

And I know you're tired, I know you bleed

So baby, come on, swim to me

I've gotten used to needing no one

Although you got so much to give

But it's not your wound to heal up, honey

It's nothing that you did

And you're not less of a man for reaching out

Or asking for help when

Your burns and your scars

Show when things getting hard

And you're walking away again

Honey, I'm trying (you're trying)

I'm trying (you're trying)

Trying to let you in

So hold me close and I'll bring you in

The water's cold, so baby swim

And I know you're tired, I know you bleed

So baby, come on, swim to me

And I'll clean your sins and keep you warm

My arms are open with the door

So walk right in and get on out

It's time to let me hold you now

So rest your head and settle down

Before the poison, I was pure

If I had just found you first

There's something deep within me

That believes it could have worked

And it's not that I don't want it

The fear turned self-destructive

Help me see what's worth loving

Cause I hate what I'm becoming

So hold me close and I'll bring you in

The water's cold, so baby swim

And I know you're tired, I know you bleed

So baby, come on, swim to me

And I'll clean your sins and keep you warm

My arms are open with the door

So walk right in and get on out

It's time to let me hold you now

So rest your head and settle down

I'm trying (you're trying)

I'm trying (you're trying)

Trying to let you in

And I know you're trying (I'm trying)

You're trying (I'm trying)

To clean the salt from your skin

So hold me close and I'll bring you in

The water's cold, so baby swim

And I know you're tired, I know you bleed

So baby, come on, swim to me

And I'll clean your sins, keep you warm

My arms are open with the door

So walk right in, get on out

It's time to let me hold you now

So rest your head and settle down
