lyrics

if they wanted to, they would but they don’t so you pick up where they left off. and you’ve done all that you should, all you could but still none of what you want. maybe it’s time to try. isn’t it marvelous to bathe in the waves of comfort you’ve made for yourself? and if you haven’t learned to swim come on in! we’ll help you keep yourself afloat. take it slow. here we go! on time! you’re always on time! the water’s fine. on time! you’re always on time! the water’s fine. now you’ve got some things to say. it may take some time before they’re out and heard. so you’ll ruminate a while, oh sweet summer child, well it’s fine cause we know that mum’s the word, and we’ve learned to wait. and if you’re choosing not to speak, you’re not weak, come closer till we hear your heartbeat hum. // all i want for us is to dive and only when we’re under will we wonder if we made it out alive //
but just before we slip beneath the surface we will greet with open arms what's yet to come! O N T I M E ! Y O U R E A L W A Y S O N T I M E ! T H E W A T E R S F I N E ! // ah-huah!
