about

"Diver" is the anthemic lead single for Can I Say's debut album "In Your Arms". While the song is a musical nod to the band's main Alternative Rock influences, it also sets a particular dark and melancholic mood for the album.

lyrics

Can I Say - Diver

offshore in black water
you stay cool like no other
while the weight of the earth
pulls you down
as you're slowly hollowed out
in these weird times

the night sky is the only joy
you're smiling for the last time
tonight
the starlight leads the only way
despite all the things that could've been
tonight you go down

you've been so innovative yet so benign
you've dissipated all your life
you hesitate to close your eyes
you inhale one last time

the night sky is the only joy
you're smiling for the last time
tonight
the starlight leads the only way
despite all the things that could've been
tonight you go down

you're so unfortunate
it's such a bad thing
who would've thought that
this is happening
you are a castaway
the journey's ending
look a the stars
they aren't really helping
