Teach me how to swim
When the stone of your actions
Hits the water of consequence
The ripples of after-effects
Reach everyone around you
You have to make your own mistakes
Just remember who are all at stake
Chorus
Teach me how to swim
In the shallow waters
Don’t tie a rock to my feet
And lead me out into the deep
I can’t swim so teach me how
How I am to survive this now
Those closest to you
Would catch the biggest waves
So if they can’t swim
They’ll get washed away
They will be the ones
Who drown in their pain
Chorus
Don’t throw me in the deep end
And leave me there to defend
My own life as well as yours
‘Cause I’ll drag us both down
And I’ll have to look into your eyes
As we both struggle and drown
Chorus
