Swim Lyrics
You said we'd do this life together
You told me nothing's gonna change
Well, funny, change is hard to measure
When you get so used to the pain
[Pre-Chorus]
But something feels wrong, I don't know what it is
If I'm the problem, just tell me what I did
Everything's different, you just don't wanna talk
I feel the distance every time that I call
[Chorus]
You used to answer straight away
Now you just let it ring
You used to wipe my tears away
Now all I do is swim
Oh, the way you look at me has changed
And you won't let me in
So can you tell me how, tell me how
Tell me, how did it come to this?
(Oh, oh)
[Drop]
[Pre-Chorus]
But something feels wrong, I don't know what it is (Is)
If I'm the problem, just tell me what I did
Everything's different, you just don't wanna talk (Talk)
I feel the distance every time that I call
You used to answer straight away
Now you just let it ring (You just let it ring)
You used to wipe my tears away
Now all I do is swim (Swim)
Oh, the way you look at me has changed
And you won't let me in (Won't let me in, won't let me in)
So can you tell me how, tell me how
Tell me, how did it come to this?
Oh, you used to answer straight away
Now you just let it ring (You just let it ring)
You used to wipe my tears away
Now all I do is swim (Swim)
Oh, the way you look at me has changed
And you won't let me in (Won't let me in, won't let me in)
So can you tell me how, tell me how
Tell me, how did it come to this?
(Oh, oh)
[Drop]
You used to answer straight away (Straight)
You used to wipe my tears away
(Oh, oh)

I had the title and the lyric ‘You used to answer straight away/Now you just let it ring.’ Then I went in [the studio] with Rob Harvey, who you'’ll know from co-writing hits like ‘Head & Heart’ by Joel Corry and MNEK. When we stared working together, I thought he was going to be this big-shot writer who was a bit arrogant. But he was just absolute compelete opposite and we fell in love with each other a bit—musically, it makes so much sense with me and him. I also wrote this song with [UK duo] Maur, who are incredible producers.
