Lyrics

I'm standing on the diving board
Toes curled over the edge
The whole town's at the pool today
Pretending they're not watching me
My knees are shaking like a drum
My towel is on the ground
One minute left to make my mind up
Don't look down, don't look down

Sixty seconds, sixty seconds
Heart is kicking like a snare
Sixty seconds, sixty seconds
Everybody's waiting there

Jump, jump, I'm gonna jump
Loud and scared and not too proud
Jump, jump, I'm gonna jump
Cannonball into the crowd
If I'm gonna splash then I'll splash big
Hold your nose and sing along
Sixty seconds on the diving board
And now I'm gone, I'm gone

A kid in water wings yells go
His mom is holding snacks
The lifeguard blows his whistle once
I think he's on my side
I count to ten and then I stop
I count to ten again
My brother shouts you big old chicken
But he's grinning, he's my friend

Sixty seconds, sixty seconds
Heart is kicking like a snare
Sixty seconds, sixty seconds
Everybody's waiting there

Jump, jump, I'm gonna jump
Loud and scared and not too proud
Jump, jump, I'm gonna jump
Cannonball into the crowd
If I'm gonna splash then I'll splash big
Hold your nose and sing along
Sixty seconds on the diving board
And now I'm gone, I'm gone

Quiet now, the water's blue
Quiet now, I breathe it in
Whatever's down there waiting
Is better than standing still

Jump, jump, I jumped, I jumped
Loud and scared and not too proud
Jump, jump, I jumped, I jumped
Everybody cheered out loud
I came up laughing, soaking wet
Hold your nose and sing along
Sixty seconds on the diving board
And now I'm gone, I'm gone
