Song lyrics
Nightswimming
Deserves a quiet night

Photograph on the dashboard
Taken years ago
Turned around back so the windshield shows
Every streetlight reveals the picture in reverse
But still it's so much clearer now
And I forgot my shirt at the water's edge
The moon is low tonight

Nightswimming
Deserves a quiet night

I'm not sure all these people understand
It's not like years ago
The fear of getting caught
Of recklessness and water
They cannot see me naked
These things they go away
Replaced by everyday

Nightswimming
Remembering that night
September's coming soon
I'm pining for the moon
And what if there were two
Side by side in orbit
Around the fairest sun
That bright, tight forever drum
Could not describe nightswimming

You, I thought I knew you
You I cannot judge
You, I thought you knew me
This one laughing quietly underneath my breath
Nightswimming

The photograph reflects
Every streetlight a reminder
Nightswimming deserves a quiet night, deserves a quiet night

I kinda like R.E.M and I love DC, but I have to say DC's version here does not do the R.E.M version justice...I think that's because I love the REM version so much......but it's fun to hear and was a nice tribute

Good cover! The REM version is one of my favorite songs ever and usually I don't like when people do covers of songs I like so much because they hardly ever do them justice but fortunately that is not the case here.
