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

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 the day

Watch a Super 8 video tape

We were kids in the car having light - hearted 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
