Lyrics Kris Delmhorst

Kris Delmhorst

Sink Or Swim

It's a thin, thin sky, can't always hold me down

It's a long, long day by the time the night rolls around

Now it's all hashed out and we've shaken on the deal

If it all came down to yes or no

I would tell them this was real

I would tell them

And it's a crowded room, you can't know everyone's name

This is a big, big world, darling and I don't think you can feel all it's pain

That's why we're all spread out and we each face our chosen few

If it all came down to fight or flight

I would take them on with you

I would take them all on with you

But it never sounds true when I try to say

That I hope I find you at the end of my day is a living thing

And each one leaves me changed

One by one they breathe into me

And is it any wonder, darling and I seem strange?

And now it's all adrift and we're moving though we don't know how

'Cause it all comes down to sink or swim

And I am swimming for it now

I am swimming for it now, I am swimming for it now
