diving lessons - backyard (backyard universe) lyrics
at the ymca swimming pool
i was learning how keep my cool
in water deeper than my head
just started to get a grip
listening to the muted screams underneath
i was beginning to be at peace
but i knew it wasn’t going to stay this way
to pass the class i had to play
the diving game like all the other kids
from way up there it looked mile down
my knees were locking i was crying now
it doesn’t help that they’re cheering me on
i couldn’t jump i was wasting time
so the teacher told me they’ll make up my mind
or thеy’ll have to drop me in
my heart was bеating faster than i thought it could
my legs quit working when they really should
fear has a funny way of digging in
my arms start flailing like a cat in the tub
i couldn’t figure out which way was up
i think this failure is sinking in
i think my failures are sinking in
years went by avoiding anything deep
diving lessons never worked on me
but i think it’s time to try again
my pal said that he could give me a hand
we’ll take it slow we’re not far from land
we’ll have a lifejacket just in case i start freaking out
but i lost track of my peaceful mind
i was grabbing on to anything i could find
i almost drown my friend who was just trying to help me swim
my heart was beating faster than i thought it could
my legs quit working when they really should
fear has a funny way of digging in
my arms start flailing like a cat in the tub
i couldn’t figure out which way was up
i think this failure is sinking in
i think my failures are sinking in
