Jump

Jump
(by Cary Cooper and Tom Prasada-Rao)

My sister was the braver one when we were kids out in the sun
And she would dive head first into the water
I stayed in the shallow end where it was easier to swim
Wishing that I was a different daughter

I would dream about the high dive
I’d imagine jumping in
But every time that it was my turn
I’d make my sister go again

She’d say: jump
Falling feels like flying when you jump
There is no denying when you jump
You remember how to swim it all comes back again
Just lean into the wind and jump

I’m naked way beyond my skin and I’m scared like I’ve never been
And I’m finding you can’t tiptoe through a fire
You can have a thousand friends but you’re alone when you dive in
And dare to push the edge of your desire

Climb the ladder up the high dive
Only room for one up here
Inch my toes out toward the deep end
Cause I’m bigger than my fear
And Jump
Falling feels like flying when you jump
There is no denying when you jump
You remember how to swim it all comes back again
Just lean into the wind and jump

This is the day
This is the time
Make up your mind
Water to wine

Jump
Falling feels like flying when you jump
There is no denying when you jump
You remember how to swim it all comes back again
Just lean into the wind and jump
