[Verse 1]
Just a couple weeks back meant this guy
Who got hit by a bus when he turned eighteen
In and out of hospital for thirty months
But thirty years on, he wouldn't change a thing
[Pre-Chorus]
He said, "It's easy
Chasing what might have been
You think it's a nightmare
But it's only a dream"
[Chorus]
Find me upstream, alone
All my life picking fights with a ghost
Teach me to let go cause I know it's harder to breathe
Swimming upstream
[Verse 2]
Two broken legs and a head full of stiches
And more time to think than you need
But night turns to day
Strength starts to grow from acorns to oak trees
[Pre-Chorus]
You know I think about you
And every wall around me is caving in
It feels like the end of the world
But it's only the start of something
[Chorus]
Find me upstream, alone
All my life picking fights with a ghost
Teach me to let go cause I know it's harder to breathe
Less fear, more hope
I keep trying to move but I don't
So hard to let go but I know it's hard to breathe
Swimming upstream
Swimming upstream
Swimming upstream
Swimming upstream
Find me upstream, alone
All my life picking fights with a ghost
Teach me to let go 'cause I know it's harder to breathe
Less fear, more hope
I keep trying to move but I don't
So hard to let go but I know it's harder to breathe
Swimming upstream
Swimming upstream
Swimming upstream
Swimming upstream
