I only know that I was there because I saw the film
I often wonder why
You always believed I could swim
Because I did my very best
To drown in this
You only wanted me rising, wanted me rising,

Here's a firm goodbye to yesterday
And the time I wasted
In the words, trying to find my way to you, love

Here's a firm goodbye to all the ways
I was trying to lose you
When you were right in front of me
Right in front of me

I know that I'm inside
From the time I spent on the outside looking in
What a storm to have been in
Yet I did my very best
To drown in this
You only wanted me rising, wanted me rising

Here's a firm goodbye to yesterday
And the time I wasted
In the words, trying to find my way to you, love

Here's a firm goodbye to all the ways
I was trying to lose you
When you were right in front of me
Right in front of me

One moment later, I would have been out it seemed
One moment later, I would have been out it seemed
One moment later, I would have been out it seemed

Here's a firm goodbye to yesterday
And the time I wasted
In the words, trying to find my way to you, love

Here's a firm goodbye to all the ways
I was trying to lose you
When you were right in front of me

Here's a firm goodbye to yesterday
And the time I wasted
In the words, trying to find my way to you, love

Here's a firm goodbye to all the ways
I was trying to lose you
When you were right in front of me
Right in front of me
