Lost you in a dark, cold undertow 

I know how to swim   you said

Wading away in water way over your head

And mine too I suppose 

As rows of imitation daylights grew dim

We exchanged numbers and clothes

Watching each other too closely to see a thing

Is only as true and as real as a life lived on whim

Loved you like a dark,  cold undertow 

How to swim,  you know,  I said
