“Swim” is Dan’s new single for the upcoming album that he’s releasing early in the new year.
According to his interview with Annie Mac’s Hottest Record on BBC Radio 1, he explains that the song is about “faithfulness” with another person or lack thereof. The metaphor of swimming is leaving off with...
[Verse 1]
Yes, I'm sure that I
Want to be here
I'm warned that the water's
Rough this time of year
[Pre-Chorus]
Could it be a test today?
Or shall we leave it all to fate?
Don't you want to explore the depths

[Chorus]
(Hey lover)
Could you be close to me?

[Pre-Chorus]

[Instrumental Break]
(Hey lover)

(Swim with another)
[Chorus]
(Hey lover)

Take your time to cool your mind
(Hey lover)
Could you be close to me?
Won't you (swim with another?)
(Swim with another?)
