Music and lyrics: Bess Rogers, Sabrina Velazquez

lyrics

When I was a kid my mama told me
That I shouldn’t swim
For fear I wouldn’t survive
Just wish that she’d let me dive

Into the deep end with the other kids
My arms would move like fins
Body shifted to manual drive
I think I’ll make it out alive

Watch me
See me
Can you hear me?
Tell me, cause I can’t hear you

Been known to take the long way
Obey the signals and rules
Always last to arrive
Think I’m everyone’s favorite punchline

But I’m not just a mind covered in skin and bone
I’m a rebel who’ll call you
On the telephone
Cause even good girls feel alone

Watch me
See me
Can you hear me
Tell me, cause I can’t hear you

Always did what was expected out of me
But I got sick of trying
Even if you want to hold me down you will see
That I was never, ever, going to
Drown
