lyrics

calling to believe my daydream,
feeling close enough to swim
but i'm drowning in the distance,
and your time alone with them.
i watched you set yourself apart,
from the dive team sitters
swimming with a heavy heart
in a room full of fallen quitters

i hold, my breath - each time they hit the water,
then let it out, only proving that I'm no better.
don't hold back; dig in for a solid finish.
stretch then stack, close your eyes, cause you're still winning.

it's not about you, it's about everything.
it's not about you, it's about everything.

focusing on place and posture,
treading water for the cause.
each lap is more exhausting,
remembering who i was.
circling the shallows
for a blindfolded run through
the deep end is empty,
what if i kissed you?

i hold, my breath - each time they hit the water,
then let it out, only proving that I'm no better.
don't hold back; dig in for a solid finish.
stretch then stack, close your eyes, cause you're still winning.

it's not about you, it's about everything.
it's not about you, it's about everything.
it's not about you, it's about everything.
it's not about you, it's about everything.
