[Verse 1]
Wild swimming, colder than space
Up to my shoulder and over my face
And the cold stars are fizzing, they know me by name
The moon's in the first house, she's waxing to wane
Wild swimming, I'll fall through the cracks
Where Earth kisses heaven and covers the tracks
And the waves are all crying, they're weeping in vain
The moon's in the fourth house, she's waxing to wane
Yeah, waxing to wane
[Chorus]
And if we'd come here any sooner
I'd not have seen you in this moonlight
In this moonlight
And the sky tonight, so honest
Is gonna make me cry on the inside
Cry on the inside
[Verse 2]
Wild swimming, up the bends
Now the river knows everything bad I intend
And she'll ripple away all the heartache and shame
Yeah, the moon's in the sixth house, she's waxing to wane
Yeah, wild swimming, and no one will see
If I slip into you and you slip into me
You can soak up my fury, I'll swallow your pain
And the moon's in the eighth house, she's waxing to wane
Yeah, waxing to wane
[Chorus]
And if we'd come here any sooner
I'd not have seen you in this moonlight
This gorgeous moonlight
And the sky tonight, so honest
Is gonna make me cry on the inside
Cry on the inside
[Instrumental Break]
[Outro]
We'll go wild swimming, colder than space
Up to my shoulder and over my face
And the cold stars remember the struggle, the strain
The moon's in the last house, she's waxing to wane
Yeah, waxing to wane
Yeah, waxing to wane
