Julia Marcell Teacher's song lyrics

Teacher teacher teacher

Won't you tell me how to swim?

I swallow too much water

I'm my momma's only daughter

She'll be devastated deeply

If we don't go to the sea

I swallow too much Jack

And wonder if I'll get a heart attack

Teacher teacher teacher

People younger than us die

Us kids who didn't bother

To open our eyes underwater

I said I told you everything

But truth is I was lying

I never told you anything

But I deserve a hug for trying

Now I feel ashamed whenever

Someone's there to speak your name

You burnt me like a toast

You are your father's son and my only ghost

I swear to you of all your preach

I remember only what I want

I swear I've grown out of your reach

You test the best but you're now on your own
