There comes a time when you swim or sink
So I jumped in the drink
Cause I couldn't make myself clear
I realize, you have to understand what I am trying to say now or never. So I makes a desperate attempt (I jump in to see if I will swim or sink).
Maybe I wrote in invisible ink
maybe it's my way of communicating that's wrong...
But another illlustration is wasted
cause the results are the same
but every way I try, nothing works.
What some take for magic at first glance
is just slight of hand depending on what you believe
people's ability to carry a meaning accross is just "slight of hand." You can get lucky, or not.
And I know now which is which and what angle I
oughta look at it from
The fact that you don't understand tells me that deep down, you don't want to. So it would only make things worse if you did. I know now not to be so frustrated about this inability to get to you since I know it's better to be "misread" than to be what I will become in your eyes otherwise.
and aside from that this chain of reaction
baby is losing a link
Not only is the love fading, but I can't even get that accross to you.
I like her first verse. It shows that she understands exactly what she is doing when she gets emotional. She jumps in on purpose to make herself clear. Because some people just don't understand that there's a fire if you say it calmly (in this case, the fire is the fact that the relationship might end).
