S.T.A.T.E '09

There's a certain feeling you get when the crowd starts to cheer

You don't know what to think you don't know how you got here

So you take a deep breath and breathe in the air

The taste of chlorine saturates it there

When you get up on the blocks

You don't look at the clocks

There is just you and the pool

Stretching out in front starts to rule

You head as you here "take your mark" it all changes

Your thoughts all shift and everything else ranges

From nothing to something in a fraction of a second

When the gun goes off your future is beckoned

The water rushes by

Its a sort of high

When you hit the wall
You just want to fall

It's exhausting but worth it

When you know what you want to get

And you know in the end it doesn't matter if you lose

Because just being there is all the you need to move

You towards your dream

Flying high above the sea
