Next Of Kin de Alvvays

We walked along the rocks for nearly an hour
I caught the way you looked at me in the sunlight
You took something before you went in the shower
You have suppressed that make you feel uptight
If I had known you couldn't swim
We would have never gone in

I left my love in the river
The only one who sees
I lost his hand in the color
It was the life I wanted and I hoped for
And now I'm left sifting through the leaves

His arms so hard, I saw his skin through this t-shirt
They grabbed so tight, he knew they wouldn't defend
We climbed into the stream so no one will be heard
And in no time it wasn't a sound
If I had known you couldn't swim
We would have never gone in

I left my love in the river
The only one who sees
I lost his hand in the color
It was the life I wanted and I hoped for
And now I'm left sifting through the leaves

No color to his skin, I follow next of kin
No color to his skin
I left my love in the river
The only one I see
I lost his hand in the color
And now I have grown through the trees
