Out · of · the · Blue

my love gives me hope
my love gives me pride

look how I love you
and you love me

♥

This I did not write myself, but I just love these lyrics. They're from Ani DiFranco, the song is called 'Swim'.


---------

you keep telling me i'm beautiful
but i feel a little less so
each time your love is
so colorful
that it flashes out like a neon sign
but i finally drove out where
the sky is dark enough to see stars
and i found i miss no one
just listening to the swishing of distant cars

so i hope i never see
the ocean again
pushing and pulling at me
as i go deeper and deeper in
until i'm so far from my shore
so far from what i came here for
i let you surround me
i let you drown me
out with your din

and then i learned how to swim.

i was floating above myself
watching her do just what you wanted
poor little friendly ghost
wondering why her whole house feels haunted
i told myself i was strong enough
that i had plenty of blood to give
and each elbow cradled a needle
but listless and faint ain't no way to live

so i hope i never see
the ocean again
pushing and pulling at me
as i go deeper and deeper in
till i'm so far from my shore
so far from what i came here for
i let you surround me
i let you drown me
out with your din

and then i learned how to swim.

you keep telling me i'm beautiful
but i feel a little less so
each time your love is
so colorful
that it flashes out like a neon sign
but i finally drove out where
the sky is dark enough to see stars
and i found i miss no one
just listening to the swishing of distant cars
