Our Last Swim In The Ocean

(album: The Linden Trees Are Still In Blossom - 2022)

We're leaving early
To avoid traffic
Your hair is golden
When I touch it it's static
I sleep in the backseat
I wave at a school bus
You look back and smile at me
The E6 runs through us

There you go, I've set the scene for you
Now it's your turn to remember

Our last swim in the ocean
On our last day of the summer
Our last swim in the ocean
On our last day together

You pick up a walnut
And with two fingers you crack it
Put it in my pocket
Of my lumberjack jacket
You carve our names in
On a board in Nimis
Our hands where they shouldn't have been
You think someone might've seen us?

I recreate this memory just for you
Now it's your turn to remember

Our last swim in the ocean
On our last day of the summer
Our last swim in the ocean
On our last night together

If you should ever forget this day
All the oceans will evaporate
If you should ever forget this day
This day would stop existing in a way
If you should ever forget this day
All the oceans will evaporate
If you should ever forget this day
This day would stop existing in a way

But I will recreate this day for you
Now it's your turn to remember

Our last swim in the ocean
On our last day of the summer
Our last swim in the ocean
On our last night together
