Either it’s the graveyard or the hot air balloon
There is nothing in between
I begged the earth to hold me close
It’s the heights that made me scream
I claimed the secrets nobody knows
Not a soul
Not a soul
I’ve endured a fair amount
When the airways broke and the lungs let out
Placed in a pool where my feet can’t touch
When you’re underwater you don’t say much
Your god don’t give a damn about me
Just a grown man
Learn to swim
Your god don’t give a damn about me
Just a grown man
Learn to swim
Either it’s the graveyard or the hot air balloon
There is nothing in between
I’ve endured a fair amount
Just hot air and canvas in a basket house
It’s only grey sky where my feet can’t touch
When you’re up so high you can’t say much
Your god don’t give a damn about me
Just a grown man
Learn to swim
Your god don’t give a damn about me
Just a grown man
Learn to swim
Just learn to swim
Your god don’t give a damn about me
Just a grown man
Learn to swim
Your god don’t give a damn about me
You’re a grown man
Learn to swim
