Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Another night in your comfort zone
I know it's easy to get caught up
In the same routine
So many things that you avoid
But you don't have to be paranoid
Your heart says, go but you're in limbo
But it's getting you nowhere, take the first step
And it might just take you there, yeah
It's about time you got your feet wet
It's about time you took a dive in the deep end
Been a long time, you don't need a reason
Give it up get it out, do what you believe in
It's about time you got a little crazy
It's about time so jump in, baby
Been a long time waiting on the sidelines
Live it up let it out baby, it's about time
You watch your exercise videos
While you down a bag of Oreos
You say, you want to start tomorrow
That was yesterday
It?s time to go, so don't be late
It?s easy to procrastinate
The same excuses that you always use
Sound really lame
You are the only thing that's holdin' yourself back
If you keep waiting you might miss another chance
Yeah
It's about time you got your feet wet
It's about time you took a dive in the deep end
Been a long time, you don't need a reason
Give it up get it out, do what you believe in
It's about time you got a little crazy
It's about time so jump in, baby
Been a long time waiting on the sidelines
Live it up let it out baby, it's about time
let's live for this moment
?Cause who knows what tomorrow will bring
The road is wide open and right here right now
Turn it around, don't let your life pass you by
It's about time you got your feet wet
It's about time you took a dive in the deep end
Been a long time, you don't need a reason
Give it up get it out, do what you believe in
It's about time you got a little crazy
It's about time so jump in, baby
Been a long time waiting on the sidelines
Live it up let it out baby, it's about time
Gotta get your feet wet, take a dive in the deep end
You don't need a reason, do what you believe in
You gotta get a little crazy, jump in, baby
Live it up, let it out, give it up, get it out
Been a long time, been a long time
Been a long time, you gotta get a little crazy
So jump in baby, it's about time
