I will sneak you off of the back-porch
Let the grasses bend in our breeze
We'll parade our whistling wily ways
Lightning flies nobbling our knees
Behold the glow
So, am I living too late?
And wasn't this night a well rehearsed?
A set-verse that spoke of your face
And know the river won't wait
You say this, you say, oh
You say:
"I think that we oughta go nightswimming,"
This night fills me up
I'm a pocket
Water above, water below
Lift my arm, now leave it dangling
Watch, the land turns away from the harsh shore
I've read this before
So, am I living too late?
And wasn't this night, oh, set to verse
And well-rehearsed
And then set to song?
And have I waited too long?
Don't let our youth go to waste
Come on
Say that you wanna go, oh, nightswimming
Let the grasses bend in our breeze
We'll parade our whistling wily ways
Lightning flies nobbling our knees
Behold the glow
So, am I living too late?
And wasn't this night a well rehearsed?
A set-verse that spoke of your face
And know the river won't wait
You say this, you say, oh
You say:
"I think that we oughta go nightswimming,"
This night fills me up
I'm a pocket
Water above, water below
Lift my arm, now leave it dangling
Watch, the land turns away from the harsh shore
I've read this before
So, am I living too late?
And wasn't this night, oh, set to verse
And well-rehearsed
And then set to song?
And have I waited too long?
Don't let our youth go to waste
Come on
Say that you wanna go, oh, nightswimming
