Bilingual
I'm cradling the softest
Warmest part of you in my hands
ย
Feels like a baby bird
Falling from the nest
ย
I feel that your body
Is something I understand
ย
I think that I'm happy
I think that I'm blessed
But I've had a lack of information
I've had a loss of perspective
I've had a little bit to drink
And it's making me think
I can jump ship and swim
That the ocean will hold me
There's got to be more than this boat I'm in
'Cause they can call me crazy if I fail
Or the chance that I make is one in a million
And they can call me brilliant if I succeed
But gravity is nothing to me
I'm moving at the speed of sound
I just wanna get my feet wet here
'Til I drown
And I teeter between tired
And really really tired
I'm wiped and I'm wired
But I guess it's just as well
'Cause I've built my own empire
Out of car tires and chicken wire
And now I'm the queen of my own compost heap
And I'm getting used to the smell
But I had a lack of information
I had a little revelation
And I'm climbing up on the rail line
Trying not to look down
And I'm gonna do my best swan dive
Into shark-infested waters
I'm gonna pull out my tampon
And just start splashing around
'Cause I don't care if they hate me a lot
I've got better things to do than sit out
I've got the memory of your warm skin in my hands
And I've got a vision of blue
Blue sky and trident
I'm cradling the hottest
Heaviest part of you in my hands
And the ship is pitching and heaving
And our limbs are bobbing and weaving
And I think, I think that this is one thing I understand
I just need a couple vaccinations
For my faraway vacation
I wanna go ahead and go boldly
'Cause let the little bird go, man
Jumping is easy
Falling is fun
Right up 'til you hit the sidewalk
Shivering and stunned
And they can call me crazy if I fail
Or the chance that I make is one in a million
And they can call me brilliant if I succeed
But gravity is nothing to me
I'm moving at the speed of sound
I just wanna get my feet wet here
'Til I drown
I'm just gonna get my feet wet here
'Til I drown
I'm just gonna get my feet wet here
ย
'Til I drown
