Everybody Else Gets Wet

I’ve been learning to dive
From photos on the internet
While everybody else gets wet
Everybody else gets wet
Before I learn how to swim
I wanna know what to expect
While everybody else gets wet
Everybody else gets wet
You give me hope
That I’ll learn the ropes
So teach me the strokes
Now we’re starting dry
Not gonna get too wrecked
While everybody else gets wet
Everybody else gets wet
At the water side
Treat your body with respect
While everybody else gets wet
Everybody else gets wet
You give me hope
That I’ll learn the ropes
So teach me the strokes
Don’t wanna be your ghost
Won’t be your shadow
Not gonna get too close
Won’t be your shadow
Standing with the coats
I’m the one that you forget
While everybody else gets wet
Everybody else gets wet
Still the quiet child
Going for the cool effect
While everybody else gets wet
Everybody else gets wet
You give me hope
That I’ll learn the ropes
So teach me the strokes
Don’t wanna be your ghost
Won’t be your shadow
Not gonna get too close
Won’t be your shadow
And all I ever wanted to be
Was someone to reach for
And all I ever wanted to feel
Was the tide turn around for me
Sometimes lost, always beautiful
Don’t wanna be your ghost
Won’t be your shadow
Don’t wanna get too close
Won’t be your shadow
