Midnight Memory Swim
Trying
to find where things went wrong
Wound
up at the end of the pier
With
the sign that says no swimming here
And
I did what any man would do
I closed my eyes
And jumped right
in
For a midnight
memory swim
Drowning in
thoughts of you
When I came up
for air
And you still
weren't there
I had to lose myself
again
In a midnight
memory swim
Those
summer nights lasted forever
You
were my sunken treasure
And
X marked the spot
In
that old parking lot
Where
you kissed me like there's no tomorrow
So I closed my
eyes
And jumped on in
For a midnight
memory swim
Drowning in
thoughts of you
When I came up
for air
And you still
weren't there
I had to lose myself
again
In a midnight
memory swim
It's
been years since I held you tight
But
it always feels so right
Every
time you love me again
In
my midnight memory swim
I
know there will come a day
When
those memories fade away
But
until that day comes
I'm gonna close
my eyes
And dive right
back in
To my midnight
memory swim
Not comin' up
for air
'Cause you're
right beside me there
Holdin' me once
again
In my midnight
memory swim
When
the morning finally breaks
And
I've had all I can take
I
get back in that Jeep
And
watch the sun dawn over the sea
I
should keep drivin' on
But
before I could turn that key
I closed my eyes
And jumped right
in
For a midnight
memory swim
Drowning in
thoughts of you
Gotta come up
for air
I know you're
not there
It's time to wake
up again
From my midnight
memory swim
