Thao with The Get Down Stay Down is San Francisco based musician Thao Nguyen and her band. "When We Swam" is from her third studio album 'Know Better Learn Faster' which is an album full of songs about break-ups, bad relationships and even the odd "fuck You" song. She has more than likely been through some shit since the previous album but that has only made her stronger... artistically, at least.
Lyrics
When we swam our love to pieces
We washed up on messy beaches
You cleaned dry, I would not drift yet
I should drink salt water to forget
Oh why, oh why, oh why
Won’t you sing
Bring your hips to me
Oh, bring your hips, oh, oh
Bring your hips to me
To me
Oh, bring your hips to me
Oh, bring your hips, oh, oh
Bring your hips to me
To me
To me
To me
To me
Well once I arrived, but you would not receive me
I wanted it all, you could not tell
Then I paid expensive attention to detail
The fall of your face, the wish of the well
The rush of the push
The length of the spell
And you won’t
Bring your hips to me
Oh, bring your hips, oh, oh
Bring your hips to me
To me
Oh, bring your hips to me
Oh, bring your hips, oh, oh
Bring your hips to me
To me
To me
To me
To me, ah, ah, ah, ah-ah
To me
To me
To me
To me
Oh, you tug so lightly on me
Work like you are on vacation
While I was swept wide
I wept for you across the nation
Oh, all my love I don't deny
When they place their hands on both my sides
When we swam our love to pieces
We washed up on messy beaches
You cleaned dry, I would not drift yet
I should drink salt water to forget
Oh why, oh why, oh why
Won’t you sing
