Because a little bird told me
Teeter between tired and really, really tired
And I've got a vision of blue sky and dry land
Until I drown
I'm just going to get my feet wet
Gravity is nothing to me
If I succeed
I'm just gonna get my feet wet
And start splashing around
I've got a memory of your warm skin in my hand
I think that your body is something I understand
I've had a loss of perspective
All the chance that I need
In the shark infested waters
I think that I'm happy, I think that I'm blessed
I'm queen of my own compost heap and I'm getting used to the smell
Trying not to look down
I'm cradling the hardest
Shivering and stunned
And I'm climbing up on the railing
Moving at the speed of sound
If I succeed
Until I drown
I think that this is something I understand

I'm gonna go ahead and go boldly
Cradling the softest, warmest part of your hand
Is one in a million
I'm gonna pull out my tampon
I've got better thing to do than survive
'Cause they can call me crazy if I fail
'Cause I built my own empire out of car tires and chicken wire
I'm wiped, I'm wired but I guess it's just as well
That I can jump ship and swim
And it's making me think
I've had a little bit to drink
And they can call me brilliant
Feels like a baby bird fallen from the nest
Gravity is nothing to me
Moving at the speed of sound
For my far away vacation
Until I drown
Heaviest part of me in my hand
The ship is pitching and heaving
All the chance that I need
My limbs are bobbing and weaving
Is one in a million
Until I drown
That the ocean will hold me
'Cause I don't care if they eat me alive
I just need a couple vaccination

And they can call me brilliant
That jumping is easy, that falling is fun
And I've got a lack of information
But I got a little revelation
Right up till you hit the sidewalk
And I'm going to do my best swan dive
I've got a lack of inhibition
There's got to be more
I'm just gonna get my feet wet
Just gonna get my feet wet
Than this boat I'm in
They can call me crazy if I fail
