about

This is a song about going swimming and being afraid to take off your shirt.

lyrics

I get this nervous feeling
on weekends
with good friends
and it's time to feel it all again
the spring ends
and summer beings

As I fall into a season's dream
and recollect an old, forgotten memory
I feel the fear
when I was a child in the summer
shedding all those hateful tears

Let my armor down
or close my eyes and drown
I'm sinking quickly now
but if I run away...

I will never dive into the world of the unknown
because my life, my simple boyish pride
was compromised by a day swimming in the pool

some wounds wont heal with time
but as time goes
I forgot mine
Well, who cares? Kurt Vonnegut was right:
"So it goes.
So it goes"

As I grew into a college kid I was in disbelief
at the things I never did
Now I stand here
still a child in the summer running from
all of my fears

Let my armor down
or close my eyes and drown
I'm sinking quickly now
but if I run away...

I will never dive into the world of the unknown
because my life, my simple boyish pride
was compromised by a day swimming in the...

I am gonna dive into the world of the unknown
because this time, the problems in my life
could be worse
so just forget about it
