Sink or Swim is about making a choice on whether you are just going to give up on something or see it through to its logical conclusion. Although others may not understand, it feels good to go full tilt into the unknown.

lyrics

Sink or Swim

How would you like to centre,
All your thoughts in a blender
What if I don’t remember
You better, you better
Sink or swim,
Go dive in,
If it’s your time
To get out
Time to get out

Lost in a field of heather
Looking so good in leather
Go with your one defender
Together, together

Can’t see how it will mend her,
Try and get to December
Facing the storm together
Some weather, some weather
