Taking a dive cause you can't halt the slide
Floating down stream, (I'm taking a dive)
Oh, so let her go don't start spoiling the show

And you and your sweet desire

Oh, oh, higher and higher baby
It's a living thing,
It's a terrible thing to lose (Twice)
It's a giving thing
What a terrible thing to lose.
