Damien Jurado Now You`re Swimming Lyrics

Now You`re Swimming Lyrics

Now you're swimming

It don't even feel right

You hate your body

You know it shows



They're acting crazy

Out there in the deep end

They're shouting curse words

And acting crazy



You got a cop for a dad

And you don't want any more

Off-duty advice now



You got a saint in the eye

And you don't want any more

Guilt-tripping advice now



They'll figure it out

And they can keep you in the dark

Afternoon is your own time

Alone time



We'll figure it out

And then we'll keep you in the dark

Afternoon is the wrong time



And now you're painting

And you don't even feel right

You hate the colors

And you know they'll bleed



They're acting foolish

Out there in the darkroom

Rolling quarters, going wild



You got a cop in your face

And you don't want any more

Time left alone with him



You got a saint for a mom

And you know all the ways out

The back door and on out



They'll figure it out

And then they'll keep you in the dark

Afternoon is your own time

Alone time



We'll figure it out

And then we'll keep you in the dark

Afternoon is the wrong time
