Dive or Don’t

You keep touching my emotions Like the tide that pulls away One step closer, then you’re frozen Leaving shadows where you stay Love was never made for halfway Never built for careful hearts You can’t stand beside the ocean And expect to feel the spark Either dive or don’t touch the water Love is fire under the waves If you stay where the cold tide caught you You’ll just ache but never be saved Don’t hold my heart with one hand open Don’t kiss me halfway then run If we’re drowning, let’s drown together Or don’t step into love at all Every maybe cuts much deeper Than an honest sad goodbye Cause a half-love keeps you waiting While the real world passes by I don’t want your safe affection I don’t want your almost true If your soul is standing shore-side Then don’t pull me in with you Final Chorus Either dive or don’t touch the water Love was never made for fear You can lose yourself in the shallow And still never reach someone near So if you want me, come completely No more waves that fade and fall If we’re drowning, let’s drown together Or don’t step into love at all Oh, don’t leave me cold in the water Halfway hearts break worst of all
