            Song Lyrics 
            
 
 
 
 
 Took a high dive arcing out wide 
Into the crowd 
Out to the sound of their wild applause 
But you've heard it before 
And you've seen it all 
From up there on the diving board 
You'd free fall into the ether 
Above the people 
Out on a limb fragile and adored 
But who below knows that 
You're still a mystery 
Way up on the diving board 
Sink or swim 
I can't recall 
Who said that to me? 
When I was sixteen 
And full of the world and its was noise 
But you beat the drum 
You fell in love with it all 
The planets alight 
Those dizzy heights 
And the view from the diving board 
Took the grand prize you and your eyes 
Butterfly light 
Escaping the reach 
Of their fangs and their claws 
Such a pale little thing 
In your lily-white skin 
High up on the diving board. 
Sink or swim 
I can't recall 
Who said that to me? 
When I was sixteen 
And full of the world and its was noise 
But you beat the drum 
You fell in love with it all 
The planets alight 
Those dizzy heights 
And the view from the diving board 
Sink or swim 
I can't recall 
Who said that to me? 
When I was sixteen 
And full of the world and its was noise 
But you beat the drum 
You fell in love with it all 
The planets alight 
Those dizzy heights 
And the view from the diving board 
And the view from the diving board
