This Boy Can't Swim Lyrics - Singles - Cantatonia

This boy can't swim 

He's wearing too many skins 

I hope he sinks 

Then he'll forget everything 

Dreamt up the lies that would hold it together 

Then realised those he lied to were cleverer 

Left at the sides they have long since rejoined him 

Back in the fold, thick as thieves 

They will weigh him down 

This boy can't swim 

He's carrying too many sins 

I hope he sinks 

'Til he forgets everything 

Dreamt up the lies that would hold it together 

Then realised those he lied to were cleverer 

Left at the sides they have long since rejoined him 

Back in the fold, good as gold 

Who can blame them? 

Dreamt up the lies that would hold it together 

Then realised those he lied to were cleverer 

Left at the sides they have long since rejoined him 

Back in the fold, thick as thieves 

They will weigh him down 

This boy is feeling so right 

He just can't swim 

This boy is feeling so fine 

He just can't swim 

Don't try to be someone kind 

This boy can't swim
