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 that's not where you are 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 lighthearted arguments We don't know what’s there 'til 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
