I've relied much of my own desire on the promising songs that you sing
Lure me in, sink or swim, "water's fine dive right in"
Your leap of faith will make you or break you
But they glide by just fine as I'm buying my time
Sinking fast from the weight of my worries
Maybe it's not the plan, I should quit while I can
Let my dreams fizzle out in a fury
Watch them leap when they fall
With no care at all
I falter and then I go under
It's not as shallow as it appears
Gotta keep my head above water
It's a shared compromise I don't see in your eyes
And it's killing the hope that I'm feeling
So you want it like me? Well let go, let it be
Let it show you just what it's revealing
It's the game of compare and they're really not there
It's the fall that I fear and it's near me
The desire is calling my name
and I know when I fall that I won't be the same
Watch them leap when they fall with no care at all
I falter and then I fall under
It's not as shallow as it appears
Gotta keep my head above water
I don't want to believe
That I'm not anything
Just give me the chance
I'm begging, please
Watch them leap when they fall with no care at all
I falter and then I fall under
It's not as shallow as it appears
Gotta keep my head above water
