Ani Difranco - Swan Dive Lyrics
Im cradling the softest, warmest part of you in my handsFeels like a little baby birdFallen from the nestI think that your body is something I understandI think that Im happyI think that Im blessedBut Ive had a lack of inhabitionIve had a loss of perspectiveIve had a little bit to drinkAnd its making me thinkThat I can jump ship and swimThat the ocean will hold meThat theres got to be moreThan this boat Im inThey can call me crazy if I fallAll the chance I needIs one-in-a-millionAnd they can call me brilliantIf I succeedGravity is nothing to meIm moving at the speed of soundIm just gonna get my feet wetUntil I drownI teeter between tiredAnd really, really tiredIm wiped out and Im wiredBut I guess thats just as wellCuz Ive built my own empireOut of car tires and chicken wireAnd now Im queen of my own compost heapAnd Im getting used to the smellIve had a lack of informationIve had a little revelationIm climbing up on the railingTrying not to look downIm going to do my best swan diveInto shark infested watersIm going to pull out my tamponAnd start splashing aroundCuz I dont care if they eat me aliveIve got better things to do than surviveIve got the memory of your warm skin in my handsAnd Ive got a vision of blue sky and warm landIm cradling the hardest, heaviest part of me in my handsThe ship is pitching and heavingOur limbs are bobbing and weavingI think this is something I understandI think I need a couple vaccinationsFor my far-away vacationIm gonna go anhead and go boldlyCuz a little bird told meThat jumping is easyAnd falling is funRight up unitl you hit the sidewalkShivering and stunnedThey can call me crazy if I fallAll the chance I needIs one-in-a-millionAnd they cal call me brilliantIf I succeedGravity is nothing to meIm moving at the speed of soundIm just going to get my feet wetUntil I drown
