Cradling the softest
Warmest part of you in my hands
ย
Feels like a little baby bird
Fallen from the nest
ย
I think that your body
Is something I understand
ย
I think that I'm happy
I think that I'm blessed
ย
But I have 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 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 fail
All the chance I need
Is one-in-a-million
And they can call me brilliant
If I succeed
Gravity is nothing to me
Moving at the speed of sound
I'm just going to get my feet wet
Until I drown
ย
I teeter between tired
And really, really tired
I'm wiped out and I'm wired
But I guess that's just as well
ย
'Cause I've built my own empire
Out of car tires and chicken wire
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 gonna to pull out my tampon
And start splashing around
'Cause 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 dry land
ย
Cradling the hardest
Heaviest part of me in my hands
ย
The ship is pitching and heaving
Our limbs are bobbing and weaving
I think that this is something I understand
Just need a couple vaccinations
For my far-away vacation
I'm gonna go ahead and go boldly
'Cause a little bird told me
That jumping is easy
That falling is fun
Right up 'til you hit the sidewalk
Shivering and stunned
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
And gravity is nothing to me
Moving at the speed of sound
I'm just going to get my feet wet
Until I drown
Just gonna get my feet wet
Until I drown
Just gonna get my feet wet
Until I drown
