|
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 |
