Nightswimming

R.E.M.

Automatic For The People

Nightswimming deserves a quiet night
The photograph on the dashboard, taken years ago
Turned around backwards so the windshield shows
Every streetlight reveals the picture in reverse
Still, it's so much clearer
I forgot my shirt at the water's edge, the moon is low tonight

Nightswimming deserves a quiet night
I'm not sure all these people understand, it's not like years ago
The fear of getting caught
Of recklessness and water
They cannot see me naked
These things, they go away, replaced by everyday

Nightswimming, remembering that night
September's coming soon
I'm pining for the moon
And what if there were two
Side by side in orbit, around the fairest sun?
That bright, tight forever drum could not describe nightswimming

You, I thought I knew you, you, I cannot judge
You, I thought you knew me
This one, laughing quietly
Underneath my breath, nightswimming

The photograph reflects
Every streetlight, a reminder
Nightswimming deserves a quiet night
Deserves a quiet night
