Lyrics

I waited by the water, I waited always looking on
It felt just so much farther, farther than I'd ever gone
I knew I couldn't stay there, the need to know what might occur
Would make me dive right in there and leave behind what's sure
I know it's a dangerous game
But nothing ventured, nothing gained
And when I come back up for air
It doesn't mean that life is fair
I know the risk I take
That's no fresh water lake
Down there it's deep and dark
Swimming with the sharks
And so I'm sitting on the edge now, the sea is challenging my fear
And I'm admitting to myself how paralysed I couldn't hear
I'm pulling harder on that life line, with every breath it's deeper still
I know you can't hold back time, before me a world unreal
I know it's a dangerous game
But nothing ventured, nothing gained
And when I come back up for air
It doesn't mean that life is fair
I know the risk I take
That's no fresh water lake
Down there it's deep and dark
Swimming with the sharks
