Elton John
What's this song about?

1
Took a high dive arcing out wide
2
Into the crowd
3
Out to the sound of their wild applause
4
But you've heard it before
5
And you've seen it all
6
From up there on the diving board
7
You'd free fall into the ether
8
Above the people
9
Out on a limb fragile and adored
10
But who below knows that
11
You're still a mystery
12
Way up on the diving board
13
Sink or swim
14
I can't recall
15
Who said that to me?
16
When I was sixteen
17
And full of the world and its noise
18
But you beat the drum
19
You fell in love with it all
20
The planets alight
21
Those dizzy heights
22
And the view from the diving board
23
Took the grand prize you and your eyes
24
Butterfly light
25
Escaping the reach
26
Of their fangs and their claws
27
Such a pale little thing
28
In your lily-white skin
29
High up on the diving board.
30
Sink or swim
31
I can't recall
32
Who said that to me?
33
When I was sixteen
34
And full of the world and its noise
35
But you beat the drum
36
You fell in love with it all
37
The planets alight
38
Those dizzy heights
39
And the view from the diving board
40
Sink or swim
41
I can't recall
42
Who said that to me?
43
When I was sixteen
44
And full of the world and its noise
45
But you beat the drum
46
You fell in love with it all
47
The planets alight
48
Those dizzy heights
49
And the view from the diving board
50
