Lyrics

The Dive

When I wake up feeling victimized

There is nothing that can stop my eyes

From crying, crying

Nobody likes to be alone

When you put the pressure down on me

'Cause I don't quite fit your imagery

I'm trying, trying

Baby, I'm no Superman

Baby, I'm no Superman

Eyes like a deep blue sea

Yes, to dive in

Dive in

Love that you give to me

We're surviving

Surviving

When love is gone

I can't carry on

When you know that love is on my mind

When you know that love is on my mind

It's a perfect chance to be unkind

You do it, do it

Within the realms of misery

Being sly, you take a chance on crime

But the master has a new design

On loving, living

Out and in the enemy

Out and in the enemy

Eyes like a deep blue sea

Yes, to dive in

Dive in

Love that you give to me

We're surviving

Surviving

When love is gone

I can't carry on

Eyes that open wide

Do you do

The love you give the child

Do you do

Why do you do that to me

Oh yeah

When I wake up feeling victimized

There is nothing that can stop my eyes

From crying, crying

Nobody likes to be alone

When you put the pressure down on me

'Cause I don't quite fit your imagery

I'm trying, trying

Baby, I'm no Superman

Hey baby, I'm no Superman

Eyes like a deep blue sea

Yes, to dive in

Dive in

Love that you give to me

We're surviving

'Viving

Eyes like a deep blue sea

Yes, to dive in

Dive in

Love that you give to me

We're surviving

Surviving

Eyes like a deep blue sea

Yes, to dive in

Dive in

Love that you give to me

We're surviving

Surviving

Eyes like a deep blue sea

Yes, to dive in

Dive in

Love that you give to me

We're surviving

Surviving

Eyes like a deep blue sea

Yes, we dive in

Dive in

Love that you give to me

We're surviving

Surviving

Love that you give to me, oh

(Dive in)

Dive in

Love that you give to me

We're surviving

'Viving

Eyes like a deep blue sea

Yes, to dive in

Dive in

Love that you give to me

We're surviving

Surviving

Eyes like a deep blue sea

Yes, to dive in
