Hold your breath the water's cold at first
Most don't swim, just drink to quench their thirst
Life and love and choosing what they're worth
Streams narrow and riptides toss and turn

Treading out to brave the swells
If you live your life in dizzy spells
Then I can't be the first to tell you
You might drown

And though he knows you can feel like you're cursed
By saying so that spell you might reverse
But when they all love you nothing ever hurts
You'll never be the one that they love first

Treading out to brave the swells
If you live your life in dizzy spells
Then I can't be the first to tell you
You might drown

Oooohhh Oooohhh Oooohhh

Though they're just passers-by their daggers hurt
But until they've jumped in too what are they worth?

Treading out to brave the swells
If you live your life in dizzy spells
Then I can't be the first to tell you
You might drown
But don't break down
