[Verse 1]
Throw me in the deep end, I'm ready now to swim
The air in my lungs may not last very long, but I'm in
I see you on the weekend, dancing like a star
You've practiced your lines to convince us you're fine
But I know that's not where you are

[Pre-Chorus]
Once in a blue moon, you may come undone
We're made up of the same blood

[Chorus]
I'll be your medicine if you let me
Give you reason to get out of bed
Sister, I'm trying to hold off the lightning
And help you escape from your head

[Verse 2]
Come and waste the day
Watch a super 8 videotape
We were kids in the car, having lighthearted arguments
We don't know what's there 'til it's gone

[Pre-Chorus]
Just hear me out and you might understand
We're made up of the same blood
[Chorus]
I'll be your medicine if you let me
Give you reason to get out of bed
Sister, I'm trying to hold off the lightning
And help you escape from your head

[Outro]
Throw me in the deep end
I'm ready now to swim
