First Dive (Variation)

Toes curled on the wet blue tile Lane ropes rocking, nobody in yet The clock above the shallow end Says I could still go back to bed First dive, and the cold goes right through me Every switch in me flicks on I went under still half sleeping I came up laughing, and the night was gone Bubbles racing past my ears Sun on the pool floor cut into nets My heart's already two lengths ahead And I haven't even started yet First dive, and the cold goes right through me Every switch in me flicks on I went under still half sleeping I came up laughing, and the night was gone All that bargaining on the edge Gone in a single splash The water didn't hear a word of it It just caught me First dive, and the cold goes right through me Every switch in me flicks on I went under still half sleeping I came up laughing, and the night was gone First dive, first dive Every switch flicks on
