I’m ready to be afraid   I’m ready to jump   I’m ready to let you hurt me   If you must      I’m ready to cry   Because I do anyway   When I’m not doing   anything      I may as well jump   I may as well jump    for something      Oh forget what you know   And draw me with crayons   Spin around the room    With paint on your hands   See who gets covered   And when you fall down      ‘Cause you’re going to crash anyway   Even if you’re stuck not moving   You can be lulled by insults   Or sharpened by love      You may as well jump   You may as well jump   for something      Maybe you should’ve left long ago   But you couldn’t bear to let go   Now you say you’ve got to   Or you’ll never know      You say: “this dive I pray will be the deepest I’ve made   And I’ll come back with everything that we’ll need   I’ll swim up from the bottom    Holding my breath ‘til I release it”      “I may as well jump   I may as well jump   for something”
