I’m ready to be afraid
I’m ready to jump
I’m ready to let you hurt me
If you must
I’m ready to cry
Because I do anyway
When I’m not doing
anything
I may as well jump
I may as well jump
for something
Oh forget what you know
And draw me with crayons
Spin around the room
With paint on your hands
See who gets covered
And when you fall down
‘Cause you’re going to crash anyway
Even if you’re stuck not moving
You can be lulled by insults
Or sharpened by love
You may as well jump
You may as well jump
for something
Maybe you should’ve left long ago
But you couldn’t bear to let go
Now you say you’ve got to
Or you’ll never know
You say: “this dive I pray will be the deepest I’ve made
And I’ll come back with everything that we’ll need
I’ll swim up from the bottom
Holding my breath ‘til I release it”
“I may as well jump
I may as well jump
for something”
