We fell asleep last night watching TV
And the images worked their way into my dreams
We were watching turtles climbing the beach
The way she's looking at him is how you're looking at me

So if you miss me, or you get lonely
Then you can swim back (Just swim back)

You'll swim back to me
And I'll be watching the sea
For when you dance over the breakers
And waltz up the beach

Swim back to me
'Cause you've been gone since spring
You know that we can't breathe
Alone in the Gulf Stream

It's you with those sleepy eyes and heart-shaped shell
That keep me awake at night
So, meet me in the shallows off of Cozumel
We'll live our lives covered by moonlight

Maybe we were brought together by the ebb tide
It pulled the world beneath me and left you by my side

So swim back to me
And I'll be watching the sea
For when you dance over the breakers
And waltz up the beach

Swim back to me
'Cause you've been gone since spring
You know that we can't breathe
Alone in the Gulf Stream

What if we swam into nothing?
At least you'd still be beside me
So if we swam into nothing?
I'd still be smiling

So swim back to me
And I'll be watching the sea
For when you dance over the breakers
And waltz up the beach

Swim back to me
'Cause you've been gone since spring
You know that we can't breathe
Alone in the Gulf Stream

What if we swam into nothing?
