Lyrics

They gather 'round in tailored suits like it's a matinee

Spectators of a tragedy with nothing much to say

The boy stands on his pedestal not a hero not a king

Just a child in red trunks on a stage where others sing


And they whisper in the background "Will he soar or will he fall?"

Cheering for the moment not really bothered at all


It's all deep end with no life vest

We dive in first and hope for the best

They clap their hands and sip champagne

While we sink or swim in life's charade


He looks down at the water like a crystal ball of blue

Reflecting back the faces that he'll one day answer to

They're talking of his future like it's ink on fragile skin

But the ink is still an outline waiting for him to begin


And they whisper in the shadows "Will he sink or will he swim?"

Placing bets on the outcomes with no stake in him


It's all deep end with no dry ground

We're pushed to jump while they stick around

They sip their drinks and make their claims

As we tread the water in this life-long game


They'll write the headlines "Boy Makes the Leap"

Never knowing what it took or what we keep

A headline and a photo just a snapshot of the day

But they won't see the ripples or how they fade away


The boy takes a deep breath with a child's uncertain heart

And leaps into the future not sure if it's the start

The crowd leans in with interest but not a hand to lend

They applaud the splash then turn their backs and off they go again


It's all deep end the pool of life

We're thrown to swim in joy or strife

They stand and watch with a distant grin

While we face the depths they just dip in


So here's to all the swimmers who leap without a guide

Into waters deep and endless where secrets often hide

It's all deep end that's how it goes

We're on display and no one knows

It's all deep end so dive or wait

In this quiet circus the silent weight


It's all deep end

It's all deep end
