We fell asleep last night watching TV
and the images worked their way into my dreams.
We were watching turtles climbing the beach.
The way she's looking at him
is how you're looking at me.
So if you miss me,
or you get lonely,
then you can swim back
Swim back to me
and I'll be watching the sea
for when you dance over the breakers
and waltz up the beach.
Swim back to me,
cause you've been gone since spring.
You know that we can't breathe alone
in the Gulf Stream.
It's you with those sleepy eyes
and heart-shaped shell that keep me awake at night.
So, meet me in the shallows off of Cozumel.
We'll live our lives
covered by moonlight.
Maybe we were brought together by the ebb tide.
It pulled the world beneath me and left you by my side.
Swim back to me
and I'll be watching the sea
for when you dance over the breakers
and waltz up the beach.
Swim back to me,
cause you've been gone since spring.
You know that we can't breathe alone
in the Gulf Stream.
What if we swam into nothing?
At least you'd still be beside me.
So if we swam into nothing
id still be smiling
Swim back to me
and I'll be watching the sea
for when you dance over the breakers
and waltz up the beach.
Swim back to me,
cause you've been gone since spring.
You know that we can't breathe alone
in the Gulf Stream.
What if we swam into nothing?
