Monsters in the Deep

Sometimes I wonder if I stand to close to the darkness.
I've never, ever been afraid of those still, deep waters.
But there are monsters in the deep, and God knows what else.

When I see you standing there, poised on the edge.
When you flounder and splash, when you start to go under,
do I have any other choice but to dive in?

I can't drag you out anymore.
I can't swim for both of us.
But I can join you there.
You will not be alone.

There are monsters in the deep.
And God knows what else.
But I can't just leave you there.
And I am not afraid.
