lyrics
I hear the cheers when I dive well
beneath the blue my heart is in my ears
I part the waves in an instant
it's how I dream to part the sea
we got the news of your deployment
just before I made the team
I cried for days in our apartment
you helped me keep the counters clean
"Welcome Home"
they’re chanting as I’m standing here in Greece
but we're not home
and I don't feel patriotic in the least
I was raised in a small town
before the pain I learned to tuck and roll
I stumbled down into the pool in my backyard
floating weightless made me whole
When we met I had been drinking
that disaster of a dive
and though your manners then and now
could use some work
I still want you back alive
"Welcome Home"
they’re chanting as I’m standing here in Greece
but you're not home
and I don't feel patriotic in the least
I’ll win this gold
you'll read it on a wire later on
but don’t you dare be bold
we’ll come up for air together when we’re done
(She takes to the air...)
"Welcome Home"
they’re chanting as I’m standing here in Greece
but you're not home
and I don't feel patriotic in the least
I’ll win this gold
you'll read it on a wire later on
but don’t you dare be bold
we’ll come up for air together when we’re done
beneath the blue my heart is in my ears
I part the waves in an instant
it's how I dream to part the sea
we got the news of your deployment
just before I made the team
I cried for days in our apartment
you helped me keep the counters clean
"Welcome Home"
they’re chanting as I’m standing here in Greece
but we're not home
and I don't feel patriotic in the least
I was raised in a small town
before the pain I learned to tuck and roll
I stumbled down into the pool in my backyard
floating weightless made me whole
When we met I had been drinking
that disaster of a dive
and though your manners then and now
could use some work
I still want you back alive
"Welcome Home"
they’re chanting as I’m standing here in Greece
but you're not home
and I don't feel patriotic in the least
I’ll win this gold
you'll read it on a wire later on
but don’t you dare be bold
we’ll come up for air together when we’re done
(She takes to the air...)
"Welcome Home"

and I don't feel patriotic in the least
