Don′t be scared, it's only natural to feel this way

You′re anxious for a brighter day

Wonder when she'll look my way

The water feels cool for a moment or two

But then you pulled up by the pool

Nothin' to do but watch her swim

Then she asked, "Did you wanna come in?"

Don′t be a fool

I know you′re waitin' for the right time

If you don′t jump, you're a loser

If you stand still, you′ll cry

Don't be a fool

Just say the words that come to your mind

If you don′t jump, you're a loser

If you stand still, you'll cry

(I know you′re ready for it)

(I know you′re waitin')

(I, I know you′re waitin')

(I know you′re waitin')

(I, I know you′re waitin')

(I know you're waitin′)

(I, I know you′re waitin')

(I know you′re waitin')

(I, I know you′re waitin')

She was overseas chasin′ dreams that summer

Called me on the phone to talk about a new lover

A previous life without a care

I don't have the right to call you unaware

Maybe she dreams the same as you

Life, you see is comin' true

Not as far as it used to be

You owe it to yourself, it′s only fair

Don′t be a fool

I know you're waitin′ for the right time

If you don't jump, you′re a loser

If you stand still, you'll cry

Don′t be a fool

Just say the words that come to your mind

If you don't jump, you're a loser

If you stand still, you′ll cry

(I know you′re ready for it)

(I know you're waitin′)

(I, I know you're waitin′)

(I know you're waitin′)

(I, I know you're waitin')

(I know you′re waitin′)

(I, I know you're waitin′)

(I know you're waitin′)

(I, I know you're waitin′)
