[ti:Nightswimming (Album Version)] [ar:R.E.M.] [al:Automatic For The People] [by:] [offset:0] [00:17.07]Night swimming deserves a quiet night. [00:22.64] [00:28.08]The photograph on the dashboard, taken years ago, [00:35.70] [00:36.83]Turned around backwards so the windshield shows. [00:41.07]Every streetlight reveals the picture in reverse. [00:48.25] [00:49.44]Still, it's so much clearer. [00:52.63] [00:53.63]I forgot my shirt at the water's edge. [01:00.01]The moon is low tonight. [01:03.25] [01:16.00]Nightswimming deserves a quiet night. [01:21.74] [01:22.87]I'm not sure all these people understand. [01:28.62] [01:29.37]It's not like years ago, [01:32.62] [01:33.56]The fear of getting caught, [01:36.31] [01:37.55]Of recklessness and water. [01:41.43]They cannot see me naked. [01:46.06]These things, they go away, [01:49.31] [01:50.06]Replaced by everyday. [01:52.81] [01:53.81]Nightswimming, remembering that night. [02:00.56]September's coming soon. [02:03.37] [02:04.93]I'm pining for the moon. [02:09.00]And what if there were two [02:12.19]Side by side in orbit [02:15.31]Around the fairest sun? [02:19.68]That bright, tight forever drum [02:23.85]Could not describe nightswimming. [02:28.16] [02:30.28]You, I thought I knew you. [02:34.41]You I cannot judge. [02:37.72] [02:38.60]You, I thought you knew me, [02:42.41]This one laughing quietly underneath my breath. [02:48.97] [02:50.60]Nightswimming. [02:52.28] [03:16.60]The photograph reflects, [03:19.72]Every streetlight a reminder. [03:24.41]Nightswimming deserves a quiet night, [03:33.11] [03:35.47]Deserves a quiet night
