Delain - Start Swimming Lyrics






I'm waiting for another day
I'm waiting for the clock to reach the six and twelve
I'm waiting for a holiday
I'm waiting for myself
I'm waiting for another day
I'm waiting for the clock to reach the six and twelve
I'm waiting for a holiday
I'm waiting for myself

And all I seem to hear is: Stop, Stop
I'm catching up on you
Don't leave me behind
I can't see a soul out here
It's Dark, Dark
I'm catching up on you

And all I wonder is: Why?
Why do I try to start running
What am I running for?

Do you remember why we started running?
Do you remember why we're running at all?
If I dared I'd choose to swim
But it's safer on the shore
Do you remember why we started running?
Do you remember why we're running at all?
I would die to get away
But I fear to even more

I'm waiting for another day
The last one was so desperately disappointing
I can't seem to focus on what I've done
Or where I've been
I can't see
Nobody here

And all I seem to hear is: Stop, Stop
I'm catching up on you
Don't leave me behind
I can't see a soul out here
It's Dark, Dark
I'm catching up on you

And all I wonder is: Why?
Why do I try to start running
What am I running for?

Do you remember why we started running?
Do you remember why we're running at all?
If I dared I'd choose to swim
But it's safer on the shore
Do you remember why we started running?
Do you remember why we're running at all?
I would die to get away
But I fear to even more

I would rather stay here the rest of my life
I would rather stay here the rest of my life
I would rather stay here the rest of my life
Then close my eyes

I would rather stay here the rest of my life
I would rather stay here the rest of my life
I would rather stay here the rest of my life
Then close my eyes and start swimming

I would rather stay he re the rest of my life
I would rather stay here the rest of my life
I would rather stay here the rest of my life
Then close my eyes and start swimming

Close my eyes and start swimming
Close my eyes and start swimming

    They are such a refreshing band. Very underrated song.

  4. �.... �....

    За что люблю рок, так это за попадающиеся порой совершенно гениальные тексты. Start swimming по юнгианским безднам. По смертельным морям.
    Про волшебный голос и прекрасную аранжировку вообще молчу. Их услышит любой, имеющий уши.

  5. f.... a....

    The dinosaur ABC-Daddy donut dino Alphabet

  6. 1.... ....

    Amazing. Luv them. Her voice is so good.

  7. T.... S....

    This band is amazing; what delicacy in the opening accoustic passages as in "Start Swimming", then WHAMM in comes the Metal follow on chordings and vocal harmonies that build like a bad thunderstorm, "HEAD FOR THE BASEMENT" Here comes Charlotte and her bandmates.......WOWWW I've got to see them live here in NE Ohio

  8. R.... ....

    I Love This Band!!!

  9. Z.... ....

    amazing voice

    Don't worry, you are definitely not the only one.

  11. M.... M....

    1:03 I'm not the only one hearing the Sherlock theme at this part, right?

  12. A.... A....

    One of their best songs definitely!

  13. T.... ....

    This song reminds me of a lonely, late summers afternoon.
    Sitting beneath the shadow of the leaves, alone looking out at the world passing you by. You want to look down at the ground but hearing this song makes looking up at the sky bring a sense of pleasant yearning. Soon averting your gaze from the worlds orange glow becomes an impossible concept and your drawn in.

  14. F.... ....
