Lyric Swandive

i m cradling the softest, warmest part of you in my hands
feels like a little 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 inhabition
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 swim
that the ocean will hold me
that there s got to be more
than this boat i m in
they can call me crazy if i fall
all the chance 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 out 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 used 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 going to 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 warm skin in my hands
and i ve got a vision of blue sky and warm 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 think i need a couple vaccinations
for my far-away vacation
i m gonna go anhead and go boldly
cuz a little bird told me
that jumping is easy
and falling is fun
right up unitl you hit the sidewalk
shivering and stunned
they can call me crazy if i fall
all the chance i need
is one-in-a-million
and they cal call me brilliant
if i succeed
gravity is nothing to me
i m moving at the speed of sound
i m just going to get my feet wet
until i drown
