Titilope Sonuga - Teach You How to Swim lyrics
Artist: Titilope Sonuga
album: Swim
One day you will come to me
Gasping through the questions leaking from your nose and mouth
Drowning
Your shattered heart a sinking life raft
You'll ask me about love,
The kind that holds you weightless
Sweeps you dizzy with the current that drags you into it's centre.
You will come with your blowfish mouth and ask me why
Sometimes we hurt everything that wants to hold us close
You'll ask about the new skin we grow just
To protect what is soft and pulsing within us.
You will search your mother's face for answers.
In your eyes a flare,
A distress signal
A desperate SOS
Baby, I cannot be your life jacket
Your panic will sink us both
But if you're still enough to listen to me
I'll teach you how to swim.
Gasping through the questions leaking from your nose and mouth
Drowning
Your shattered heart a sinking life raft
You'll ask me about love,
The kind that holds you weightless
Sweeps you dizzy with the current that drags you into it's centre.
You will come with your blowfish mouth and ask me why
Sometimes we hurt everything that wants to hold us close
You'll ask about the new skin we grow just
To protect what is soft and pulsing within us.
You will search your mother's face for answers.
In your eyes a flare,
A distress signal
A desperate SOS
Baby, I cannot be your life jacket
Your panic will sink us both
But if you're still enough to listen to me
I'll teach you how to swim.
