Florence and the machine- Swimming song

Your songs remind me of swimming,
Which I forgot when I started to sink
Drank further away from the shore,
And deeper into the drink

Sat on the bottom of the ocean,
A stern and stubborn rock
Cos your songs remind me of swimming,
But somehow I forgot

I was sinking, now I'm sunk
And I was drinking, now I'm drunk
I was sinking, now I'm sunk,
And I was drinking, now I'm drunk

I tried to remember the chorus,
I can't remember the verse
Cos that song that sent me swimming,
Is now the life jacket that burst

Rotting like a wreck on the ocean floor,
Sinking like a siren that can't swim no more
Your songs remind me of swimming,
But I can't swim any more

Then all of a sudden, I heard a note,
It started in my chest and ended in my throat
Then I realised I was swimming,
And then I realised I was swimming,
And then I realised I was swimming,
And then I realised I was swimming

Pull me out the water, cold and blue,
I open my eyes and I see that it's you,
So I dive straight back in the ocean

Take a deep breath, tuck the water in my chest
Cross my fingers and hope for the best
Oh, take a deep breath, tuck the water in my chest,
Cross my fingers and hope for the best

Then all of a sudden, I heard a note,
It started in my chest and ended in my throat
And then I realised I was swimming,
And then I realised I was swimming,
And then I realised I was swimming,
And then I realised I was swimming

i like the darker version better....

[silenceisdistance]

I like both versions of this song, but I love the other version so much better, it's a bit more 'Florency' I suppose. This one sounds a bit more manufactured, and it's a bit more upbeat than any other of F+tm songs...

[CroftMoonEnt]

I loved this version more than the other, this is sound so, chill.

I prefer the album version. This one is very different from her other music, and it's okay, and reminds me of She & Him. Cool, but eh...

[AyaKaraRemix]

I prefer the album version better! So much more dramatic and I love how it sounds as if she's actually singing with water in her mouth during the song. It gives it such an amazing sound.
