The Format - Swans

If you’re a true fan of The Format, this is the song you’ve always wanted, but never had. Hope you enjoy it.

At the least, come join me
within the belly of a big blue beast.
Set a sail, catch a breeze, and come on

Don’t forget to fill your suitcase
Now watch it sink
Cause where we’re going we don’t need a thing
Not a map, or receipt

Cause where we been is who we used to be
We started wrappin our regrets in cloth
Are you defined by all the things you want?
Or did you get caught up in the things that we are not?

You were born to believe you can’t get lost
So when you’d run you’d always run too far
Now there’s nothing you haven’t seen
But where we’re headed we have never been

Past the pavement that we used to walk
Past the people that we used to know
Come on, go

Past the people that have broke our hearts
We started laughing at them from afar
But now we climbed too high without a rope
So don’t let go

No we are not swans
Nor are we as ugly as we think we are
We don’t take to compliments but please don’t stop
Come on, come on!

We are not swans
We fit into each other
We are Russian dolls
Where somewhere in the center sits a beating heart
Come on, come on,
We are not swans

Now do you feel we’ve come too far?
Or do you fear we reached the top?
Or do you feel like letting go?
Come on, hold on

We are not swans
Nor are we as ugly as we think we are
We are falling fast but we aren’t falling far
So cmon, cmon

We are not swans
Our fathers gave us features that we didn’t want
Our mothers claim those features made them fall in love
But come on, come on!

We are swans
We are flying higher than our counterparts
We have got each other I’d say that’s enough
So come on!
