Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Baby there's a shark in the water
But I need to get in
I need to cross the border
I need it oh oh
You know we ain't getting younger
We'll sink or we'll swim
Baby are you with me?
Oh oh

I've been doing it myself
But now I need some help
Ain't nobody, know me better, than you know me
I don't wanna drown
I don't wanna drown tonight

So tell me would dive with me?
Tell me would dive with me?
So tell me would dive with me?
Tell me would dive with me?
So tell me would dive with me?

Darling there's a storm a coming
I feel the winds blowing
I'm heading for the horizon
I need it oh oh
All around the waves are getting steeper
But I know, we can swim
So baby are you with me?
Oh oh

I've been doing it myself
But now I need some help
Ain't nobody, know me better, than you know me
I don't wanna drown
I don't wanna drown tonight

So tell me would dive with me?
Tell me would dive with me?
So tell me would dive with me?
Oh tell me would dive with me, with me?
Standing by the rocks
And feel the ocean crash
Don't push me 'cause I'm close to the edge
Standing by the rocks
And feel the ocean crash
Don't push me
So tell me would dive with me?
Tell me would dive with me?
So tell me would dive with me?

Oh, tell me would dive with me, with me?
Tell me would dive with me?
