Sometimes I find myself
stuck in the middle with
nowhere to turn
So I pull it in
and tell myself it all works out
But then again
no one helps when
things go wrong
So I saved myself
saved myself learned
how to Swim

Sometimes you find yourself
stuck in the crowd with
nowhere to turn
So you go against
What everybody feels
But feelings burn
Then you'll see
That no one [bad word] the world
You tell yourself
That everybody learns
how to Swim

With it don't fight the tide
Don't fight the tide
Just swim with it, but first...

You put your feet on the ground
I can't pick you up every time
You're falling down
No I'm not your mother or
Your father

You put your feet on the ground
I can't pick you up every time you're falling down
No I can't go any further
But I know

It's hard
to do the right thing
in the right place
when you want to do
something else in
their face

Do what I do don't turn the back and
walk away no
do what I do and learn
how to Swim

With it don't fight the tide
Don't fight the tide
Just swim with it, but first...
You put youre feet on the ground
I can't pick you up every time
You're falling down
No I'm not your mother or
Your father

You put your feet on the ground
I can't pick you up every time
You're falling down
No I can't go any further
No, no...

Just learn how to Swim
With it don't fight the tide,
don't fight the tide
just swim with it, but first...

You put your feet on the ground
I can't pick you up every time
You're falling down
No, Im not your mother or
Your father

You put your feet on the ground
I can't pick you up every time
You're falling down
No I can't go any further

Put your feet on the ground
Won't you put your feet
on the ground,

Every time you're falling down
Put your feet on the ground

And learn how to Swim
With it, don't fight the tide
Don't fight the tide
