more like a poem than a lyric

Im 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 understand
I think that I'm happy, I think that I'm blessed

But I've had a lack of inhabition, 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 theres got to be more than this boat I'm in

They can call me crazy if I fall
All the chance I need is one-in-a-million
And they can call me brilliant if I succeed
Gravity is nothing to me
I'm 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
'Cuz I've built my own empire out 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 information, I'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 dive into shark-infested waters
I'm going to pull out my tampon and start splashing around

'Cuz I dont 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 warm land


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 this is something I understand
I think I need a couple vaccinations for my far-away vacation
I'm gonna go ahead and go boldly

'Cuz a little bird told me
That jumping is easy and falling is fun
Right up unitl you hit the sidewalk

Shivering and stunned

They can call me crazy if I fall
All the chance I need is one-in-a-million
And they call me brilliant if I succeed
Gravity is nothing to me
I'm moving at the speed of sound
I'm just going to get my feet wet
Until I drown
