An Anthem for The Terminally Unique, featuring a haunting flute riff, this dark alt country vibe about an emotional vagabond reflects a period in TSOM frontman Dave Jay's life fueled by uncertainty, insecurity, and the hopelessness of self destruction. Leap before you look!
lyrics
Diving Board
I go dancing off the diving board
Leave me to sink or swim
I’m so singular rising out of a hoard
Believe me I’m me not him
Even though with you I can’t win
Skip the spin I live on a diving board
And I’m dancing off the edge again
Dove into your pool of question marks
Mixed with exclamation
As a rule I’d drown for shooting sparks
Alone in a lane of my own destruction
I must admit it’s fun at first
Until the bubble bursts into an inflammation
And I dance off the edge again
Sometimes I leap before I look to see what’s there
Reminds me of what’s in store if not for the power of prayer
‘Cuz you never think that you’re the one bad things will happen to, you fool
Whether or not you’re the one who’s invited it to your pool
Dancing off my diving board
Faith in leaps of faith restored
I go dancing off the diving board
Leave me to sink or swim
I put faith in the Universe, not a Lord
Living life on a whim
Humming an original hymn
To give me strength out on my own limb
