[00:00.75] Took a high dive arcing out wide
[00:06.86] Into the crowd
[00:07.92]
[00:12.79] Out to the sound of their wild applause
[00:17.47]
[00:18.59] But you've heard it before
[00:20.34]
[00:25.02] And you've seen it all
[00:26.58]
[00:29.95] From up there on the diving board
[00:33.06]
[00:38.87] You'd free fall into the ether
[00:42.49]
[00:45.05] Above the people
[00:46.11]
[00:51.43] Out on a limb fragile and adored
[00:55.36]
[00:57.11] But who below knows that
[00:58.66]
[01:02.73] You're still a mystery
[01:04.78]
[01:08.59] Way up on the diving board
[01:11.34]
[01:17.21] Sink or swim
[01:18.33]
[01:20.20] I can't recall
[01:21.33]
[01:24.13] Who said that to me?
[01:25.58]
[01:29.75] When I was sixteen
[01:30.87]
[01:33.74] And full of the world and its was noise
[01:37.42]
[01:41.73] But you beat the drum
[01:43.48]
[01:44.79] You fell in love with it all
[01:46.79]
[01:48.91] The planets alight
[01:50.10]
[01:51.97] Those dizzy heights
[01:53.53]
[01:55.96] And the view from the diving board
[02:02.70]
[02:08.50] Took the grand prize you and your eyes
[02:12.31]
[02:15.12] Butterfly light
[02:15.99]
[02:20.35] Escaping the reach
[02:22.04]
[02:22.98] Of their fangs and their claws
[02:25.79]
[02:27.10] Such a pale little thing
[02:29.10]
[02:32.84] In your lily-white skin
[02:35.21]
[02:38.33] High up on the diving board.
[02:40.95]
[02:46.63] Sink or swim
[02:47.81]
[02:49.75] I can't recall
[02:51.18]
[02:53.68] Who said that to me?
[02:55.31]
[02:59.42] When I was sixteen
[03:00.55]
[03:02.92] And full of the world and its was noise
[03:06.91]
[03:11.22] But you beat the drum
[03:13.15]
[03:14.21] You fell in love with it all
[03:16.39]
[03:18.33] The planets alight
[03:19.64]
[03:21.26] Those dizzy heights
[03:22.95]
[03:25.63] And the view from the diving board
[03:32.05]
[04:15.18] Sink or swim
[04:16.35]
[04:17.61] I can't recall
[04:18.98]
[04:21.98] Who said that to me?
[04:23.54]
[04:27.47] When I was sixteen
[04:28.72]
[04:31.40] And full of the world and its was noise
[04:35.21]
[04:39.45] But you beat the drum
[04:41.13]
[04:42.38] You fell in love with it all
[04:44.69]
[04:46.75] The planets alight
[04:47.81]
[04:49.62] Those dizzy heights
[04:51.07]
[04:53.44] And the view from the diving board
[05:00.18]
[05:05.99] And the view from the diving board
[05:13.10]
