Swan Dive lyrics
by Ani Difranco
I'm cradling the softest, warmest part of you in my hands Feels like a 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 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 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 I've built my own empire Out of car tyres and chicken wire And now I'm queen of my own compost heap 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 And 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 '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 shining lands 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 that this is something I understand I 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 until 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 Gravity is nothing to me Moving at the speed of sound I'm just going to get my feet wet Until I drown I'm just going to get my feet wet Until I drown Just going to get my feet wet Until I drown
