The Diving Board Lyrics - The Diving Board [deluxe W/ Exclusive Vintage Troubadour Poster] - Elton John

Took a high dive arcing out wide 

Into the crowd 

Out to the sound of their wild applause 

But you've heard it all before 

And you've seen it all 

From up there on the diving board 

You'd free fall into either 

Above the people 

Out on a limb fragile and adored 

But who below knows that 

You're still a mystery 

Way up on the diving board

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

Sink or swim 

I can't recall 

Who said that to me? 

When I was sixteen 

And full of the world and its noise 

But you beat the drum 

You fell in love with it all 

The planets alight 

Those dizzy heights 

And the view from the diving board 

Took the grand prize you and your eyes 

Butterfly light 

Escaping the reach of their fangs and their claws 

Such a pale little thing 

In your lily-white skin 

High up on the diving board 

Sink or swim 

I can't recall 

Who said that to me? 

When I was sixteen 

And full of the world and its noise 

But you beat the drum 

You fell in love with it all 

The planets alight 

Those dizzy heights 

And the view from the diving board 

Sink or swim 

I can't recall 

Who said that to me? 

When I was sixteen 

And full of the world and its noise 

But you beat the drum 

You fell in love with it all 

The planets alight 

Those dizzy heights 

And the view from the diving board 

And the view from the diving board
