Jaws Theme Swimming Lyrics
[Verse 1]
In a car outside, we stalk the idle kind
If you're leaving, just let me know
Tobacco and peppermint, dusting for fingerprints
A film in her eyes from the glow
Some rules are made with all intentions to break
And she defends it with a warped rationale
And I've seen what happens to the wicked and proud
When they decide to try to take on the throne for the crown
[Chorus]
And we learn as we age
We've learned nothing
And my body still aches
And you take 'cause they give
Though I love you
And my body, it leaks like a sieve
[Verse 2]
When it got cold outside, smoke beneath the playground lights
If you're coming home, just let me know
Sucking on your breath mint, dissected and stuck with pins
A film in her eyes from the glow
Concrete and water, she's looking for her daughter
At midnight in torrential downpour
And everything I said about how messed up your head is
Got cut up and left in bits and pieces on the cutting room floor
In a car outside, we stalk the idle kind
If you're leaving, just let me know
Tobacco and peppermint, dusting for fingerprints
A film in her eyes from the glow
Some rules are made with all intentions to break
And she defends it with a warped rationale
And I've seen what happens to the wicked and proud
When they decide to try to take on the throne for the crown
[Chorus]
And we learn as we age
We've learned nothing
And my body still aches
And you take 'cause they give
Though I love you
And my body, it leaks like a sieve
[Verse 2]
When it got cold outside, smoke beneath the playground lights
If you're coming home, just let me know
Sucking on your breath mint, dissected and stuck with pins
A film in her eyes from the glow
Concrete and water, she's looking for her daughter
At midnight in torrential downpour
And everything I said about how messed up your head is
Got cut up and left in bits and pieces on the cutting room floor
[Chorus]
And we learn as we age
We've learned nothing
And my body still aches
And you take 'cause they give
Though I love you
And my body, it leaks like a sieve
And we learn as we age
We've learned nothing
And my body still aches
And you take 'cause they give
Though I love you
And my body, it leaks like a sieve
[Bridge]
Take the picture from the wall when you think that nothing matters
Take the picture from the frame and it's a long ways to the floor
Cut your finger on the edge 'cause it's sharper than they told you
Take a leap from out the window 'cause it's way too far to go through the door
[Chorus]
And we learn as we age
We've learned nothing
And my body still aches
And you take 'cause they give
Though I love you
And my body, it leaks like a sieve
And we learn as we age
We've learned nothing
And my body still aches
And you take 'cause they give
Though I love you
And my body, it leaks like a sieve
And we learn as we age
We've learned nothing
And my body still aches
And you take 'cause they give
Though I love you
And my body, it leaks like a sieve
[Bridge]
Take the picture from the wall when you think that nothing matters
Take the picture from the frame and it's a long ways to the floor
Cut your finger on the edge 'cause it's sharper than they told you
Take a leap from out the window 'cause it's way too far to go through the door
[Chorus]
And we learn as we age
We've learned nothing
And my body still aches
And you take 'cause they give
Though I love you
And my body, it leaks like a sieve
