SWAN DIVE
6:28
- i'm cradling the softest warmest part of you in my hands
- feels like a baby bird
- fallen from the nest
- i think that your body is something i understand
- i think that i'm happy
- i think that i'm blessed
- but i've had a lack of inhibition
- i've had a loss of perspective
- i've had a little bit to drink
- and it's making me think
- that i can jump ship and swin
- that the ocean will hold me
- that's there's got to be more
- that this boat i'm in
- they can call me crazy if i fail
- all the chance that i need
- is one-in-a-million
- and they can call me brilliant
- if i succeed
- gravity is nothing to me
- i'm moving at the speed of sound
- i'm just gonna get my feet wet
- until i drown
- i teeter between tired
- and really, really tired
- i'm wiped and i'm wired
- but i guess that's just as well
- cuz i've built my own empire
- out of car tires and chicken wire
- and now i'm queen of my own compost heap
- and i'm getting use to the smell
- i've had a lack of information
- i've had a little revelation
- i'm climbing up on the railing
- trying not to look down
- i'm going to do my best swan dive
- into shark infested waters
- i'm gonna pull out my tampon
- and start splashing around
- cuz i don't care if they eat me alive
- i've got better things to do than survive
- i've got the memory of your wamr skin in my ahnds
- and i've got a vision of blue sky and dry land
- i'm cradling the hardest, heaviest part of me in my hands
- the ship is pitching and heaving
- our limbs are bobbing and weaving
- i think this is something i understand
- i just need a couple vcaccinatins
- for my far-away vacation
- i'm gonna go ahead and go boldly
- cuz a little bird told me
- that jumping is easy
- that falling is fun
- right up until you hit the sidewalk
- shivering and stunned
- they can call me crazy if i fail
- all that chance that i need
- is one-in-a-million
- and they can call me brilliant
- if i succeed
- gravity is nothing to me
- i'm moving at the speed of sound
- i'm just gonna get my feet wet
- until i drown
