Deep End

Throw me in the deep end

I'm ready now to swim

The air in my lungs may not last very long but I'm in

I see you on the weekend

Dancing like a star

You've practiced your lines to convince us you're fine but I know

That's not where you are

Once in a blue Moon you may come undone

We're made up of the same blood

I'll be your medicine if you let me

Give you reason to get out of bed

Sister I'm trying to hold off the lightning

And help you escape from your head

Come and waste the day

Watch a super 8 video tape

We were kids in the car having light hearted arguments

We don't know what's there till it's gone

Just hear me out and you might understand

We're made up of the same blood

I'll be your medicine if you let me

Give you reason to get out of bed

Sister I'm trying to hold off the lightning

And help you escape from your head

Throw me in the deep end

I'm ready now to swim
