My Brother Taught Me How To Swim Lyrics - Kindred - Passion Pit

My brother taught me how to swim 

We treaded water underneath the ocean's skin 

And then he washed away my sins 

He held me closer as the tide was coming in 

But then why, what could I say? 

What would it mean? 

'Cause then I, I'd give away 

All the love I feel 

Just a child, I was waiting 

On the line, he elevated 

He stayed put while I was wandering 

Count so long he started wondering 

Why, I got lost 

My brother taught me how to give 

He spilt his love until it stretches too thin 

Oh how I wanna be like him 

He takes away the weight before your heart gives in 

But then why, what could I say? 

What would it mean? 

'Cause then I, I'd give away 

All the love I feel 

Just a child, I was waiting 

On the line, he elevated 

He stayed put while I was wandering 

Count so long he started wondering 

Why, I got lost 

If I love the way my brother loves 

None of it would happen like the way that it was 

But then why, what could I say? 

What would it mean? 

'Cause then I, I'd give away 

All the love I feel 

Just a child, I was waiting 

On the line, he elevated 

He stayed put while I was wandering 

Count so long he started wondering 

Why, I got lost
