How To Swim

by Caleb Schaffer

this shall be intended to honor becky keen if she does not declare it average.

lyrics:
standing out by the shore, i ignore the thunder
wondering how to swim when i've been washed under
reasonably, i know that i could have asked her
but i think she feels my heart, feels my heart beat faster

so until she starts making lists and putting down my flaws
i will tell her that i love the way she says things when she talks
'cause drowning ain't no small thing, but my lungs have been pumped dry
and i really wanna keep you in my life

vibrating through the sand, i can feel the waves break
counting them on my hand as i feel the ground shake
i need her here on land, 'cause i know she'll help me
help me to understand how to sail this black sea

so until she starts thinking that i'm falling out of style
i will tell her that i love the way her face looks when she smiles
'cause drowning ain't no small thing, but my lungs have been pumped dry
and i really wanna keep you in my life

until she rips my heart out and she hangs it up to dry
i will tell her that i don't remember how, but i will try
'cause drowning ain't no small thing, but my lungs have been pumped dry
and i really wanna keep you in my life

In the past I always liked your music, but you're not making any progress. Every song nowadays sounds the same. I'm sorry because it's not meant to be rude... I just wanted to tell you that you should try to vary your style a little bit.

@chiisu111 Sorry to bore you. I'm comfortable with my style. My best advice is to promptly unsubscribe.

I never get tired of hearing your stuff!

I listen to this once every week or so, i love it.

I love your music. Your skills in writing music are awesome. But you really should get better record equipment! :D

[MrAlexio2010]

You're amazing. I have always loved your videos since the day I started watching.  Please, never stop making music. :)

I think this song sounds different than your other original songs. I think it's my favorite one you've made so far. :)

This is obviously written for Becky, which is very sweet. I'm guessing it's a metaphor for your emotions, but it probably has a bit of literal meaning because she lives so far away, across the ocean.

This is great :D

@chiisu111 Promptly.
