Sink or Swim Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Time is all we pass through
All the years I spent lookin' for you
But now I'm here, if you're feelin' the fear
And I feel it too
[Bridge]
All day long
And if it feels so right
How could we ever be wrong
[Verse 2]
Selfish, your gambling, your singing your songs
Oh life is so short but tradition so long
Now if every rich man gave a little back to his home
Maybe we'd see a change, maybe life would be long
But there's a lot to be proven wrong
[Verse 3]
Time is slipping away
Accept it and you'll get it someday
Everyone burns 'til they come of age
And everyone learns a bit day by day
[Chorus]
Oh my love, oh my home
Well, it ain't worth shit 'til you're over it
And it's running the gauntlet, it's sink or swim
Sink or swim
Time is all we pass through
All the years I spent lookin' for you
But now I'm here, if you're feelin' the fear
And I feel it too
[Bridge]
All day long
And if it feels so right
How could we ever be wrong
[Verse 2]
Selfish, your gambling, your singing your songs
Oh life is so short but tradition so long
Now if every rich man gave a little back to his home
Maybe we'd see a change, maybe life would be long
But there's a lot to be proven wrong
[Verse 3]
Time is slipping away
Accept it and you'll get it someday
Everyone burns 'til they come of age
And everyone learns a bit day by day
[Chorus]
Oh my love, oh my home
Well, it ain't worth shit 'til you're over it
And it's running the gauntlet, it's sink or swim
Sink or swim
[Verse 4]
Time is slipping away
Accept it and you'll get it someday
Everyone burns 'til they come of age
And everyone learns a bit day by day
[Chorus]
Oh my love, oh my home
Well it ain't worth shit 'til you're over it
And it's running the gauntlet, it's sink or swim
Sink or swim
Time is slipping away
Accept it and you'll get it someday
Everyone burns 'til they come of age
And everyone learns a bit day by day
[Chorus]
Oh my love, oh my home
Well it ain't worth shit 'til you're over it
And it's running the gauntlet, it's sink or swim
Sink or swim
