Nightswimming Lyrics - Dashboard Confessional

Nightswimming deserves a quiet night. 

The photograph on the dashboard, taken years ago, 

turned around backwards so the windshield shows. 

Every streetlight reveals the picture in reverse. 

Still, it's so much clearer. 

I forgot my shirt at the water's edge. 

The moon is low tonight. 

Nightswimming deserves a quiet night. 

I'm not sure all these people understand. 

It's not like years ago, 

The fear of getting caught, 

of recklessness and water. 

They cannot see me naked. 

These things, they go away, 

replaced by everyday.

Nightswimming, remembering that night. 

September's coming soon. 

I'm pining for the moon. 

And what if there were two 

Side by side in orbit 

Around the fairest sun? 

That bright, tight forever drum 

could not describe nightswimming. 

Photos 

You, I thought I knew you. 

You I cannot judge. 

You, I thought you knew me, 

this one laughing quietly underneath my breath. 

Nightswimming. 

The photograph reflects, 

every streetlight a reminder. 

Nightswimming deserves a quiet night, deserves a quiet night.
