The diver Lyrics

Standing
High above the soul
At the edge of
The diving pool

Smiling and waving
Before letting himself fall
The fact is fly

After wondering ...

It was beautiful to watch
So beautiful to watch

He was propably
The world's best diver
Probably
The world's best diver
He was
The world's
Best
Diver
Probably

Touching the bottom
He pushed away
With both legs

And ...

Like a fish

The fact is ...
As the water
He still was beautiful to watch
So beautiful to watch

I stay high above

He was
The world's
Best diver

But he could not swim

He was beautiful to watch
So beautiful to watch

Whoever wrote this got the lyrics totally wrong! These are the right lyrics for this song:

Standing high above us all At the edge of the diving board Smiling and waving Before letting himself off The faintest splash as the water engulfed him It was beautiful to watch So beautiful to watch

He was probably the world's best diver Probably the world's best best diver He was the world's best diver probably

Touching the bottom he pushed away with both legs And cut through the surface like a fish The faintest splash as the water released him It was beautiful to watch So beautiful to watch

Best diver He was the world's best diver But he could not swim It was beautiful to watch So beautiful to watch

To me, this song talks about an impulsive person, someone who make choices without thinking ahead and then realizing he cannot deal with the results of his deeds.
