Drink the water, drink it down, this time I know I'm bound
To spit it back up, I didn't want this
Salty substitute, just not going to do
I need some air if I'm going to live through
This experience reminds me of a clock
That just won't tick, I want to wake up
From this concussion, but my dream is just not done
I'm late again, it's just one of those
Bad days, look outside and be careful what you ride
You just might find

That you're out of time
To swim ashore
If I drift long enough
I'll be home

He's got delusions between his ears
Man, it takes up too much space
And all that tension between his gears, man
He'll never, ever leave this place
He's got stones instead of bones, and everybody knows
Ah, man, that can make you real, real slow
And if Heaven was below, he'd know just where to go
Dive in the ocean, and he'd sink like a stone
And he'd say

It's time to swim ashore
If I drift long enough
I'll be home

Hold on if you can
You're going to sink faster than you can imagine, so hold
Hold on if you can
You're going to sink faster than you can imagine, so hold

It's just time to swim ashore
If I drift long enough
I'll be home
