This is the showdown, there?s no better time. Will you run away and hide? I?ve been to the desert, I?ve been to the sea, I?ve received the gifts they?ve given to me. I?ve lost some illusions ? I?ll probably lose more And if there?s anything left, it?s on the other shore
(chorus) So can I dive into the water? Slap this wicked face of fate Don't know if it's a burning river Or just another icy lake. It's the tension of this moment It's the things that we must lose These clothes stuck to my body Strip down and choose to swim.
This moment is terror ? this moment is fake This moment has already been washed away. My life is not future, my life is not past My life is before words even break the glass. And so I'm in silence, and so I'm in love But I'm looking at nothing ? can I take the plunge?
(chorus) Can I dive into the water Drink the passion love creates? Don't know if it?s a burning river Or just another icy lake. It's the tension of this moment It's the things that we must lose These clothes stuck to my body I'll strip down and choose ? to swim
Well this silence is the answer The fear has been submerged Life in the center flowing Will the true self please emerge? This water ever burns me This water ever heals. What holds this flow together But love that is the real? Teach me to swim.
