The story ends before revealing
That Icarus got a second chance
He learned to swim because he had to, out of necessity
And not well, but well enough
I know how to exit a riptide and survive a capsize
I'm an expert in areas that are obsolete to me now
Like my high school boyfriend, figure skating competition rules, and AP stats
Did well on the exam and second in Worlds and the boyfriend is dead
But we had a good, we had a good
Thing for a long time
When you grow up in a beach town, you learn how to swim
And I haven't lived on the coast in five years
But I know I can tread water
For fifteen, for fifteen, for fifteen minutes
I know how to exit a riptide and survive a capsize
I'm an expert in areas that are obsolete to me now
Your apartment flooded, and you went to school and work
And you lost everything
Your kindred soul cast out amongst the stars
Over Portland, Oregon, USA
But an end's an end's an end, and you're beginning
You've begun
Mom says that lovers are kin to the sea
And I'm young, and nothing should scare me
But when I see her smile, I decide to be brave
And I straighten out my spine
I know how to exit a riptide and survive a capsize
I'm an expert in areas that are obsolete to me now
