Belly Flop

(album: Technicolor Daydream - 2021)

Tears fall like raindrops
Red eyes in the backdrop, ey
This feels like a lot
Don't know if I've got it, yeah
Hold on, wait and listen
My demons aren't distant, surrounding me
The pressure's a lot
And it's more than I've got, yeah

Younger me was stronger than today
Ooh, I never ran from failure, steps away
And no, I never look before I leap
But I'm afraid that I'll get in too deep

I don't wanna belly flop
Ooh, belly flop
Ooh, belly flop
When I dive in, dive in, dive in the deep end

In a weird life slump
Spark plugs, need a life jump
I am running on E
Don't know if I'll make it
Why won't you just listen?
I'm a mess up with afflictions
Surrounding me
I can't drown them all out
'Cause I don't swim a lot, yeah

I feel like you've cast me out to sea
Ooh, waves of expectations moving me
Let's just let the current carry me
But I'm afraid that I'll get in too deep

I don't wanna belly flop
Ooh, belly flop
Ooh, belly flop
When I dive in, dive in, dive in the deep end
Farewell my thoughts
And of an aftershock
The bitter sting
When I dive in, dive in, dive in the deep end

From up here, the water seems so clear, don't mind the fall
Take a chance on life, I promise you won't mind at all
Brace yourself the fall is not the end

I just wanna belly flop
Ooh, belly flop
Ooh, belly flop
When I dive in, dive in, dive in the deep end
Farewell my thoughts
And of an aftershock
The bitter sting
When I dive in, dive in, dive in the deep end
