Letra Swimming, crying Gretta Ray

Swimming, crying

I'm so sick of writing all my songs about rebuilding
If I'm honest, I'm beyond tired of it
It's no longer fulfilling
Practice makes perfect, but they've all begun to sound the same
So uninspired and tame
The "fake it 'til you make it" attitude this time around's a losing game

I'm so sick of flying only to realise I'm falling
One step forward, three steps back
The push and pull of this time's exhausting
In the uncertainty, I've driven solo interstate
The lines of the freeway
Hold me hostage like Joni
When I'm low, I put Coyote on replay

And it's June now
There's a full moon out
It's hanging over Bronte in the morning
And I know somehow
Though I feel let down
Soon it'll make sense and I think I saw a dolphin
They say that's a good omen
The ocean is restless yet reassuringI'll be alright when all is wrong
So you can find me swimming, crying
Swimming then crying
Swimming and crying all month long

I'm so sick of drying boys' tears while they're breaking my heart
Dragging out goodbye
Share one last kiss before I break down in my car
Practice makes perfect, so I'm really good at moving on
Gift wrap the grief in song
There's too much to be thankful for
Life's too short to hold a grudge or to hold on

And it's June now
There's a full moon out
It's hanging over Bronte in the morning
And I know somehow
Though I feel let down
Soon it'll make sense and I think I saw a dolphin
They say that's a good omen
This moment is restless yet reassuring
Against the current, still I'm strong
So you can find me swimming, crying
Swimming then crying
Swimming and crying all month long

It's a full moon tonight
It's a full moon in Sagittarius
Just, like, really interesting in terms of, like, now is the time for really big changes
Perhaps this is a peril leg of a new chapter for you

Swimming, crying
Singing when driving
Healing, smiling
Feeling then thriving
Forgiving and writing
Living, not dying
Swimming and crying all month long
