Passion Pit
My Brother Taught Me How to Swim
[Verse 1]
My brother taught me how to swim
We treaded water underneath the ocean's skin
And then he washed away my sins
He held me closer as the tide was coming in

[Chorus]
But then why, what could I say?
What would it mean?
Cause then I, I'd give away
All the love I need
Just a child, always waiting
All along he elevated
He stayed put while I was wandering
Gone so long he started wondering
Why, I got lost

[Verse 2]
My brother taught me how to give
He spreads his love until it stretches too thin
Oh how I wanna be like him
He takes away the weight before your heart caves in

[Chorus]
But then why, what could I say?
What would it mean?
Cause then I, I'd give away
All the love I need
Just a child, always waiting
All along he elevated
He stayed put while I was wandering
Gone so long he started wondering
Why, I got lost
[Bridge]
I got lost
I got lost
If I loved the way my brother loves (I got lost)
None of it would have been like the way that it was

[Chorus]
But then why, what could I say?
What would it mean?
Cause then I, I'd give away
All the love I need
Just a child, always waiting
All along he elevated
He stayed put while I was wandering
Gone so long he started wondering
Why, I got lost
