cradling the softest, warmest part of you in my hand
  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
    i've got a lack of inhibition
  i've got 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 there's got to be more
  than this boat i'm in
    'cuz they can call me crazy if i fail
  all the chance that i need
  is one-in-a-million
  and they can call me brilliant
  if i succeed
  gravity is nothing to me, moving at the speed of sound
  i'm just going to get my feet wet
  until i drown
    and i teeter between tired
  and really, really tired
  im wiped and im wired but i guess its just as well
  because i built my own empire
  out of car tires and chicken wire
  and i'm queen of my own compost heap
  and i'm getting used to the smell
    and i've got a lack of information
  but i got a little revelation
  and i'm climbing up on the railing
  trying not to look down
  i'm going to do my best swan dive
  in the shark-infested waters
  i'm gonna pull out my tampon
  and start splashing around
    'cuz i don't care if they eat me alive
  i've got better thing to do than survive
  i've got a memory of your warm skin in my hand
  and i've got a vision of blue sky and dry land
    i'm cradling the hardest, heaviest part of me in my hand
  the ship is pitching and heaving, my limbs are bobbing and weaving
  and i think this is what i understand
  i just need a little vaccination for my far-away vacation
  i'm going to go ahead boldly because a little bird told me
  that jumping is easy, that falling is fun
  up until you hit the sidewalk, shivering, stunned
    and they can call me crazy if i fail
  all the chance that i need
  is one-in-a-million
  and they can call me brilliant
  if i succeed
  gravity is nothing to me
  moving at the speed of sound
  i'm just gonna get my feet wet
  until i drown...
