[Verse 1]
Nightswimming deserves a quiet night
The photograph on the dashboard taken years ago
Turned around backwards so the windshield shows
Every streetlight reveals the picture in reverse
Still, it's so much clearer
I forgot my shirt at the water's edge
The moon is low tonight
[Verse 2]
Nightswimming deserves a quiet night
I'm not sure all these people understand
It's not like years ago
The fear of gettin' caught
Of recklessness and water
They cannot see me naked
These things, they go away
Replaced by everyday
[Verse 3]
Nightswimming, remembering that night
September's coming soon
I'm pining for the moon
And what if there were two
Side by side in orbit around the fairest sun?
That bright, tight forever drum
Could not describe nightswimming
[Verse 4]
You, I thought I knew you
You, I cannot judge
You, I thought you knew me
This one laughing quietly
Underneath my breath
Nightswimming
[Outro]
The photograph reflects
Every streetlight a reminder
Nightswimming deserves a quiet night
Deserves a quiet night
