La Fille Sur Le Pont

This is the story of a charming girl.
She laughs out loud, sings off key, and believes in taking chances.
She is quick, curious, playful, and strong.
She lets her imagination run away with her.
She has never been one to stick to convention.She is fond of daydreams that take her places.
She can order a cocktail in 6 different languages.
She feels that understated is overrated...

Swim

You gotta swim
Swim for your life
Swim for the music that saves you 
When you’re not so sure you’ll survive

You gotta swim
And swim when it hurts
The whole world is watching
You haven’t come this far
To fall off the Earth

The currents will pull you
Away from your love
Just keep your head above

I found a tidal wave 
Begging to tear down the dawn
Memories like bullets
They fired at me from a gun
Cracking the armour, yeah

I swim for brighter days
Despite the absense of sun
Choking on salt water
I’m not giving in
I swim

You gotta swim
Through nights that won’t end
Swim for your family, your lovers
Your sisters and brothers and friends

Yeah you gotta swim
For wars without cause
Swim for these lost politicians
Who don’t see their greed is a flaw

The currents will pull us
Away from our love
Just keep your head above


You gotta swim
Swim in the dark
There’s no shame in driftin’
Feel the tide shifting 
And wait for the spark

Yeah you gotta swim
Don’t let yourself sink
Just find the horizon 
I promise you it’s not as far as you think

The currents will drag us away from our love
Just keep your head above
Swim
