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 a day
Watch a Super 8 videotape
We were kids in a car
Having lighthearted 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
