Dive In

Most recent album purchase: Jennifer Knapp’s Letting Go. Dive In is the first song on the album, and kind of describes how I’ve been feeling—and trying to live—lately.

Careful what you say
Careful who might hear
Someone else inside the universe
Could write it down
And you’ll be hearing it for years

Don’t fear, don’t fall
Just turn and face the wall
I’m like a convict with my hands locked over my head
I’m a dead man walking

I’m so tired of standing on the edge of myself
You know I’m longing for it
To dive in, dive in
You know it well
You’re about to push me over the edge
You know I’m longing for it
To dive in, dive in, dive

I’m tired of choking
The shallow waters I’ve been in
I’m ready to be baptised by water and blood
C’mon push me under

I’m so tired of standing on the edge of myself
You know I’m longing for it
To dive in, dive in
You know it well
You’re about to push me over the edge
You know I’m longing for it
To dive in, dive in, dive

I may be a fool to some, hero to others
But to you, just a lover
I’m so tired of standing on the edge of myself
You know I’m longing for it
To dive in, dive in
You know it well
You’re about to push me over the edge
You know I’m longing for it
To dive in, dive in
Only your voice will push me over the edge
dive in, dive in

Only your voice will push me over the edge
dive in, dive in, dive
