"High Dive"
(by Andrew McMahon)

I took the train home, facing backwards
Another hopeless chase
Echo Park, Indian Summer

I wrote a new song
About your new life
Like steps I retrace
Block letters in your little black notebook

Yeah

Flashbacks get me close
I'm almost there

Headlight in the driveway
You stand in the window waiting
The stars are out tonight
One million fires burning

Out there on the high dive
You dance with your headphones on
And I could watch you all night long
Dancing to someone else's song

Oh, dancing to someone else's song
Oh, dancing to someone else's

Black jacket, a blue motorbike
Pass the mission in the moonlight
Teenagers in the alley kissing

Smell the gas burn, saw your street sign
Doing 80 in a 45
Throwing shadows you could hear if you listen

Flashbacks get me close
I'm almost there

Headlight in the driveway
You stand in the window waiting
The stars are out tonight
One million fires burning

Out there on the high dive
You dance with your headphones on
And I could watch you all night long
Dancing to someone else's song

Oh, dancing to someone else's song
Oh, dancing to someone else's

Oh
Oh, oh

Oh
Oh, oh

Flashbacks get me close
But I'm staring at someone else's

Headlights in your driveway
You stand in the window waiting
The stars are out tonight
One million fires burning

Meet me on the high dive
You dance with your headphones on
So I could watch you all night long
Dancing to someone else's song

Oh, dancing to someone else's song
Oh, dancing to someone else's song

Someone else's song
To someone else's song
To someone else's
Someone else's
Someone else's
Song

(MY-version, 'Strong-WALK':)

"I practice at home, with my back-STRAIGHT.
Another hope-FULL STRIDE

I TAKE a SHORT-STRIDE
To be more STAY-BUHL.
Small-steps I must TAKE
To maintain STAH-BIHL-IH-TEE in my GAIT.

YEAH.

Muscle-memory HELPS
Me to WALK where I NEED-to GO.
My LEGS are strong-ER.
One million nerves 'CLICKING'.

AH-LOHN in my 'CLUH-TERD MIND',
I 'WALK' with BOTH-eyes UP
And, I wanna 'WALK', as my brain 'BEGS':
'WALKING' with someone-ELSE's LEGS!

Oh, 'WALKING' with someone-ELSE's LEGS!
Oh, 'WALKING' with someone-ELSE's LEGS!

Leanin' BACK but I SHOULD-be 'paying-FORWARD' 


'SELF-drive' gets me CLOSE.
I'm ALMOOOST-THERE!

My thighs 'CHURN' as I 'WALK'
I NEED patience as I'm WAITING
For nerves to RE-DEV'LOP.
NUMEROUS 'dead'-NERVES.

As I 'PRACTICE' with my WALKER,
I HAFTA-bend my knees, as I STEP.
I doN'T WANT the EASY-way OUT:

 Oh, 'WALKING' with someone-ELSE's LEGS!
 Oh, 'WALKING' with someone-ELSE's ... 

OH!  Oh, oh.
OH!  Oh, ... oh.  

WILL-power gets me CLOSE.

My thighs 'CHURN' as I 'WALK'
I NEED patience as I'm WAITING
For nerves to RE-DEV'LOP.

With someone-ELSE's LEGS!
With someone-ELSE's ... 
Someone-ELSE's ... 
Someone-ELSE's ...

-- My EX-girlfriend's GOSSIPING with/to her friends:
"You know what's sexIER than a 'BAD-BOY'?  A MAN who 'has his LIFE together'!"

... I may-NOT SEEM WELL-off ... in terms-of "CONTROLLING various-aspects of my 'STATUS', ... but "LOOKS can be DECEIVING".
... MENTALLY: I'm "KICK-ASS"!
... PHYSICALLY: I'm IMPROVING!
... OCCUPATIONALLY: I "WORK"-for ... "the PEOPLE"!
... FINANCIALLY: I'm MORE-than "VERY-COMFORTABLE"!


-- "The ONLY-place where 'SUCCESS' comes BEFORE 'WORK' is ... in the dictionary."
(--NBA-analyst Jalen Rose)
(... My--EVENTUAL--"WALKING"-"SUCCESS" will-ONLY come-from REPETITIVE, RELENTLESS "WORK".)

... The MORE you TRY, the MORE you FAIL. 
The MORE you FAIL, the MORE you LEARN. 
The MORE you LEARN, the MORE you GROW.


-- THANKFULLY, a FRIEND of mine emailed me his GOOD-notes from our "Programming"-class at Miami-Dade College yesterday-evening.
(... I was ABSENT ... from CLASS, 'cuz I CHOSE-to attend my high school's WRESTLING-"dual meet".)


... "Sometimes 'being IGNORED' is WORSE-than 'being BLAMED'."
(--'NUMB3RS')



-- ME, to my YOUNG 'Karateka', as we SPAR:
"Stop THINKING you can hit me, & HIT ME!"
(--Morpheus, 'The Matrix')
(... I did NOT attend "Martial Arts"-CLASS today, 'cuz the weather was ... "POURING!")


-- A friend said she wanted a "Treadmill-powered Netflix-account", so it ONLY plays shows, WHEN she runs.

... HOW 'BOUT a "'WALKING'-fueled 'Medication'"-account?!

(... I get "NUTRITION", when I PRACTICE my "WALKING".)

... Call it "WALK-ification".
