Discover the story of the song > Swim – Chase Atlantic

The song is about a guy who just met a girl and is really into her, but he's dealing with personal issues ("exorcising demons") and has to work through them. He talks about swimming and getting into the girl's metaphorical "ocean" to escape his problems. The chorus repeats the idea that he wants to swim and be close to the girl, and the bridge emphasizes that he feels like he's drowning but her presence helps keep him afloat.
