Song Description
The song is about being on a long tour and being tired to the point of disorientation. Being in an airplane and looking up through the clouds to see the moon. It felt like I was swimming underwater and looking up to see the sun through the water.

Lyrics
Swimming
(from the cd ?Little Coma? released in 2004)
This is impossible I know,
So far above all these city lights and all.
They serve me tea and coffee and I?m watching the moon burning,
clouds run,
Those stars out there above my head,
Could be the bottom lights of some great ship, ocean liner
We?ll be descending in fifteen minutes
I don?t see how we?ll withstand all the pressure
I think I?m swimming
And if you look at me swimming around,
I?m so far up that I think that I?m down
As far as I know I can be,
As far as I know I can be,
I think I?m Swimming,
Swimming
