"Dive In" Lyrics

As a kid your dad took you fishing
On the pier you cast off wishing you could dive right in, dive right in
Out at sea always there floating
A plastic buoy, and you could hold it if you'd dive right in, dive right in

You'd lie awake on lonely nights
And one day you'd glide away
Till then you'd simply say

Buoy, don't go sinking, don't go thinking you're gonna go under the waves
Buoy, keep on floating, 'cause I'll be holding you one of these days

One day, it barely took a second
You grew up, the big world beckoned and you dived right in, dived right in
All you felt was pain and disorder
You did your best to keep your head above the water
And you dived right in, dived right in

You'd lie awake so lone at night
Just hoping to slide away
I'd be around I'd try to say

Boy, don't go sinking, don't go thinking you're gonna go under the waves
Boy, keep on floating, 'cause I'll be holding you one of these days

One of this days

So keep fighting
'Cause I'll be diving right in
So keep fighting
'Cause I'll be diving right in
So keep fighting
'Cause I'll be diving right in
So keep fighting
'Cause I'll be diving right in, diving right in...

Boy, don't go sinking, don't go thinking you're gonna go under the waves
Boy, keep on floating, 'cause I'll be holding you, holding you
Boy don't go sinking, don't go thinking you're gonna go under the waves
Boy, keep on floating, 'cause I'll be holding you one of these days
