Well I can tell from the look on your little boatrace that your life's not going to plan
Wild swimming, wild swimming
You're turning twenty-eight and you thought the clouds would part
But you're still feeling less than
Wild swimming, wild swimming
You're starting to suspect that you can't make your own luck
And the people who say you can always seem to be the luckiest ones
Do you wonder if everyone is regurgitating the most recent opinion they heard?
Wild swimming, wild swimming
Are you taking solace in the revelation that everyone is pretending
Or do you feel you were sold a lie?
Wild swimming, wild swimming
Things were so much simpler when I was five years old
When there were three career paths they'd ask you what do you want to be?
Policeman, fireman or spaceman?
Policeman, fireman or spaceman?
Policeman, fireman or spaceman?
Policeman, fireman or spaceman?
Wild swimming, wild swimming
Wild swimming, wild swimming
Wild swimming, wild swimming
Wild swimming, wild swimming
