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.
