Now You're Swimming Lyrics - Damien Jurado

Now you're swimming 

It don't even feel right 

You hate your body 

You know it shows 

They're acting crazy 

Out there in the deep end 

They're shouting curse words 

And acting crazy 

You got a cop for a dad 

And you don't want any more 

Off-duty advice now 

You got a saint in the eye 

And you don't want any more 

Guilt-tripping advice now 

They'll figure it out 

And they can keep you in the dark 

Afternoon is your own time 

Alone time 

We'll figure it out 

And then we'll keep you in the dark 

Afternoon is the wrong time 

And now you're painting 

And you don't even feel right 

You hate the colors 

And you know they'll bleed 

They're acting foolish 

Out there in the darkroom 

Rolling quarters, going wild 

You got a cop in your face 

And you don't want any more 

Time left alone with him 

You got a saint for a mom 

And you know all the ways out 

The back door and on out 

They'll figure it out 

And then they'll keep you in the dark 

Afternoon is your own time 

Alone time 

We'll figure it out 

And then we'll keep you in the dark 

Afternoon is the wrong time
