Fell in love with the deep end
Waiting for a high-dive
Breathing just to tread water
Swimming laps to survive
The splash is a jokester
With a waterlogged laugh
Cannonball blasting over
You sink if you let out your breath
So hold your breath
The streets are at eye-level sometimes
I know
I’ve been there often
And when the sky seems so far below
You’re laid out on the street again
And then the deep end
It grows shallow
But you still plan on diving
Inflatable heart sinking like a stone
And dreams of flying
Wake up in a puddle
From a dream that seemed real
The waves, they remember
A crash that you didn’t feel
But someday you will
The streets are at eye-level sometimes
I know
I’ve been there often
And when the sky seems so far below
You’re laid out on the street again
And then the deep end
It grows shallow
But you still plan on diving
Inflatable heart sinking like a stone
And dreams of flying
Now memories flashing
As ripples replace the wake
And the children are laughing
Enjoy those shallows today
And the bottom grows deeper
As your love for the dive
So the jokester falls silent
With smiling eyes
Red watery eyes
The streets are at eye-level sometimes
I know
I’ve been there often
And when the sky seems so far below
You’re laid out on the street again
And then the deep end
It grows shallow
But you still plan on diving
Inflatable heart sinking like a stone
And dreams of flying
Inflatable heart sinking like a stone
And dreams of flying
