Lyrics and translation

Original

Love is a tidal wave
Come crashing down
And I am a passenger
About to drown
'Cause I can't swim
My father never told me how
Can you swim?
Do you know how?
Love is a passenger
In my arms
And I am a tidal wave
Sound the alarm
'Cause I can't swim
My father never showed me how
Can you swim?
Do you know how?
Love gets in the way
I feel like I am dumb
I try to run away
From the things I've said and done
All that I can feel
Are things that I run from
And it all falls down
I said it all falls down
And then it all falls down
Again
Mm, hm
It all comes down

English translation

Love is a tidal wave
Come crashing down
And I am a passenger
About to drown
'Cause I can't swim
My father never told me how
Can you swim?
Do you know how?
Love is a passenger
In my arms
And I am a tidal wave
Sound the alarm
'Cause I can't swim
My father never showed me how
Can you swim?
Do you know how?
Love gets in the way
I feel like I am dumb
I try to run away
From the things I've said and done
All that I can feel
Are things that I run from
And it all falls down
I said it all falls down
And then it all falls down
Again
Mm, hm
It all comes down
