lyrics

I remember swimming in a pool
But I wasn't swimming - I was drowning
I must have been about 7 or 8 years old
& didn't really know how to swim
But I jumped in the deepest part of the pool & I started sinking
You know how you do the dog paddle to stay up
I was grabbing handfuls of water
& I was trying to yell but my mouth was filling with water
As I was going down for the last time I looked over to the side of the pool
& the last image I remember is this blurry picture of my brother
Standing by the edge of the pool with his hands in his pockets watching me drown
I always thought he was taking the change out of his pockets
Getting ready to jump in
Now I'm not quite sure
