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

I climb, hand over hand, closing my eyes
Too scared to look down
I climb, hand over hand
Putting distance between i and i and the ground

I get to the top
I stand on the edge
I look to the sky, and say all my prayers

(chorus)
What could be better than a swan dive into the asphalt
I don’t know, nothing can be better than a swan dive into the asphalt

You should ask somebody,. cause i’ve got nothing to lose tonight
I misplaced my life tonight, chased all my friends away tonight
I don’t say the right things
I don’t look the right way
That’s just not me
I listen to my music too loud, a watch too much damn tv

Tell me, who can control the flood?
No one
Where are the angels?
Nowhere
Where’s the compassion?
Nowhere
Who knows the truth?
No one
Who will believe in me?
No one
Who will stand by me?
No one
Who will fly with me?
No one

I climb, hand over hand, closing my eyes
Too scared to look down
I climb, hand over hand
Putting distance between i and i and the ground

I get to the top, stand on the edge, look to the sky

There’s nothing left for me.

Would you think I was crazy
If I stripped on down to my skin or
Would you think I was free as a bee
C’mon tell me – tell me –
tell the truth now
Would you think you could meditate
in the middle of the eye of a hurricane
Would you now but somehow
if we were tethered here together
We could weather out the weather here

And oh yeah I might be crazy –
but that’s not the same as insane
And I’m scared –
but that’s not the same as being afraid

If I throw myself over the edge
If I find myself in over my head
If I shatter from the fall and I lose
I’d still want to swan dive – into you

So tell me now what you’re thinking
A Lincoln for your thoughts
or a dollar for them all yeah
Well I can take the truth –
no I can’t – yes I can
Tell me we were meant
to be – a happy accident
Would you cry if I said it
Would you get it if I told you
that I want you and I need you
Aw that wouldn’t say enough
Hell I love you
How bout that yeah

And oh yeah well I might be crazy –
but that’s not the same as insane
And I’m scared –
but that’s not the same as being afraid

If I throw myself over the edge
If I find myself in over my head
If I shatter from the fall and I lose
I’d still want to swan dive – into you

Oh yeah well I might be crazy –
but that’s not the same as insane
And I’m scared –
but that’s not the same as being afraid

If I throw myself over the edge
If I find myself in over my head
If I shatter from the fall and I lose
I’d still want to swan dive
yeah yeah

If I throw myself over the edge
If I find myself in over my head
If I shatter from the fall and I lose
I’d still want to swan dive – into you
