I'm cradling the softest, warmest part of you in my hands
Feels like a little baby bird
Fallen from the nest
I think that your body is something I understandI 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 perspectiveI'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 meThat there's got to be more
Than this boat I'm in
They can call me crazy if I fall
All the chance I needIs one-in-a-million
And they can call me brilliant
If I succeed
Gravity is nothing to meI'm moving at the speed of sound
I'm just gonna get my feet wet
Until I drown
I teeter between tiredAnd really, really tired
I'm wiped out and I'm wired
But I guess that's just as well
'Cause I've built my own empireOut of car tires and chicken wire
And now I'm queen of my own compost heap
And I'm getting used to the smell
I've had a lack of informationI'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 diveInto shark infested waters
I'm going to pull out my tampon
And start splashing around
'Cause I don't care if they eat me aliveI'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 warm land
I'm cradling the hardest, heaviest part of me in my handsThe ship is pitching and heaving
Our limbs are bobbing and weaving
I think this is something I understand
I think I need a couple vaccinationsFor my far-away vacation
I'm gonna go ahead and go boldly
'Cause a little bird told me
That jumping is easyAnd falling is fun
Right up until you hit the sidewalk
Shivering and stunned
They can call me crazy if I fallAll the chance I need
Is one-in-a-million
And they cal call me brilliant
If I succeedGravity is nothing to me
I'm moving at the speed of sound
I'm just going to get my feet wet
Until I drown
