Song language: English
The Diving Board |
| Took a high dive arcing out wide |
| Into the crowd |
| Out to the sound of their wild applause |
| But you’ve heard it before |
| And you’ve seen it all |
| From up there on the diving board |
| You’d free fall into the ether |
| Above the people |
| Out on a limb fragile and adored |
| But who below knows that |
| You’re still a mystery |
| Way up on the diving board |
| Sink or swim |
| I can’t recall |
| Who said that to me? |
| When I was sixteen |
| And full of the world and its was noise |
| But you beat the drum |
| You fell in love with it all |
| The planets alight |
| Those dizzy heights |
| And the view from the diving board |
| Took the grand prize you and your eyes |
| Butterfly light |
| Escaping the reach |
| Of their fangs and their claws |
| Such a pale little thing |
| In your lily-white skin |
| High up on the diving board |
| And the view from the diving board |
