Lyrics: Justin Nozuka. Swan In The Water.

Father tired to save me
he said believe in the spirit of god
leave me alone
My mother tried to heal me
She said just feel me, just feel me
now leave me alone
My brother tried to scold me
He tried to hold, to hold me
Now leave me alone

My sister tried to listen
But she couldn't understand
It's not how i stand, but where i stand

And you talk
And you talk
And you talk
And then you walk
And you get what you wanted all along
And then you walk

(Chorus)
And then you walk oil in the water
How come you can't be with me?
Oil in the fire
I remember how it used to be
Swan in the water,
you're moving so elegantly

And it burns
And it burns
And it burns
And it burns
And it burns

He tired to convinve me
It was shouting on the radio and tv screen
Leave me alone
My angels tried to mess me
Constantly tsting and testing me
Now leave me alone
The devil tried to bless me,
Confessing the debt
Leave me alone

My sister tried to listen
But she couldn't understand
It's not how i stand, but where i stand

And you talk
And you talk
And you talk
And then you walk
And you get what you wanted all along
And then you walk

(Chorus)
And then you walk oil in the water
How come you can't be with me?
Oil in the fire
I remember how it used to be
Swan in the water,
you're moving so elegantly

And it burns
And it burns
And it burns
And it burns
And it burns

Leave me alone
