Swim and sleep like a shark lyrics

I wish that I could swim and sleep like a shark does
I'd fall to the bottom and I'd hide til the end of time
In that sweet cool darkness
Asleep and constantly floating away
I wish that I could break and end like the world does
I'd fall to the bottom and I'd chase all my dreams away
And I'd let you crush me
My dreams would be constantly melting away

I wish that I could swim and sleep like a shark does
I'd fall to the bottom and I'd hide til the end of time
In that sweet cool darkness
Asleep and constantly floating away

I wish that I could swim and sleep like a shark does
I'd fall to the bottom and I'd hide 'til the end of time
In that sweet cool darkness
Asleep and constantly floating away

I wish that could break and bend like the world does
I'd fall to the bottom and I'd chase all my dreams away
And I'd let you crush me
My dreams would be constantly wilting away

I wish that I could swim and sleep like a shark does
I'd fall to the bottom and I'd hide 'til the end of time
In that sweet cool darkness
Asleep and constantly floating away

"Swim And Sleep (Like A Shark)"

I wish that I could swim and sleep like a shark does
I'd fall to the bottom and I'd hide 'til the end of time
In that sweet cool darkness
Asleep and constantly floating away
I wish that I could break and bend like the world does
I'd fall to the bottom and I'd chase all my dreams away
And I'd let you crush me
My dreams would be constantly wilting away

I wish that I could swim and sleep like a shark does
I'd fall to the bottom and I'd hide 'til the end of time
In that sweet cool darkness
Asleep and constantly floating away

I wish that I could swim and sleep like a shark does
I'd fall to the bottom and I'd hide til the end of time
In that sweet cool darkness
Asleep and constantly floating away

I wish that I could break and mend like the world does
I'd fall to the bottom and I'd chase all my dreams away
And I'd let you crush me
My dreams would be constantly melting away

I wish that I could swim and sleep like a shark does
I'd fall to the bottom and I'd hide til the end of time
In that sweet cool darkness
Asleep and constantly floating away
