"Get Used To It" lyrics

When I was young and the fear was creeping in
I would use it like a knife
But now we're older and all we have are the memories of tears
And when it comes the day and we still cry like infants

Once you jump in, once you jump in
I'm hoping that you really do get used to it
Once you jump in, once you jump in
I'm not afraid of losing anything but you

'Cause it went quicker than I thought
Did it have to?
Or was there error in my step?
I don't mean to sound ungrateful but I know I do

Once I jump in, once I jump in
I'm hoping that I really do get used to it
But how will it feel when it gets real?
Tell me when I finally see the truth in it

Once you jump in, once you jump in

And all of the dreams I have, what do they mean?
Questions I ask of myself
Spinning in spirals, they say it's for life time
So maybe I've been someone else
Wondering once I jump in do I simply get used to it?
What if I'm not moving on?
When I shed this skin am I finally the proof that I'm not really gone?

And I hear the static and it's problematic
The tone just gets lost in the sound
Of all of their voices, they're speaking at once
And just wait until I come around
Saying, "Come on, jump in 'cause there's really no choice to it
Your body is soul
Once you jump in, you'll find your voice and forget 'bout control"

Once you jump in, once you jump in
I'm hoping that you really do get used to it
But how will it feel when it gets real?
Tell me when I finally see the truth in it
