Lyrics

[00:07.72] Andrea and me, we went swimming last Monday
[00:11.49] Swimming last Monday in a community pool
[00:17.89] I refused to remove my suit in the shower
[00:21.70] Scared that someone might see the scars on my soul
[00:25.64] That this autumn left me
[00:31.25] A community swimming pool, it's like a society
[00:34.56] Twenty people swimming in a line, making room for everyone
[00:38.40] We work hard to get along
[00:44.61] And then he comes along, the crawler
[00:47.59] He doesn't see anyone else, the crawler
[00:51.31] He jumps in in the middle lane and waves his crawling arms
[00:58.24] Visibly damaging the swimming quality for everyone else
[01:06.61] The crawler believes because he knows crawling
[01:10.08] He gets to crawl over everyone else
[01:14.35] "People who breaststroke and can't keep up
[01:17.48] They should start crawling themselves"
[01:20.85] So says the crawler
[01:29.31] Andrea and me, we swam after each other
[01:33.03] After each other in the community pool
[01:39.63] I'm not good at talking while exercising
[01:43.10] If you say something funny, Andrea, I'll drown
[01:50.15] My arms in the water get number and number
[01:53.77] For every second here I grow stronger
[01:57.44] We're in a line, twenty people, we try to get along
[02:04.41] I love how we get along
[02:09.68] But the crawler keeps crawling, forcing the water
[02:14.03] Building forts of waves that hit our faces
[02:17.28] Us twenty, we gather around the crawler
[02:21.32] We push his face under water
[02:26.86] And we wait
[02:31.04] We wait for the waves to slow down
[02:34.53] We wait for the waves to slow down
[02:38.10] We wait for the waves to slow down
[02:42.22] We wait for the waves to slow down
[02:46.09] We wait for the waves to slow down
[02:49.12] And we wait for the waves to slow down
