[Verse 1]
I push to the left
You pull to the right
It's a standoff
Gainin' no ground
Outta the dark
And into the lights
It's a breakthrough
Startin' with sound

[Pre-Chorus]
I can't forget
The look on your face
In shock
Startin' to sweat
All wet, make a bet
It hasn't even started yet
But I got a nickel
That says it will

[Chorus]
Headfirst
Headfirst
Headfirst
You'll compromise
You'll let us in
You'll spread 'em wide
We're divin' in headfirst
Headfirst
[Verse 2]
Climb on the horse
And start to ride
Slow curves
Swingin' my bat
Up, down the front
And side to side
Code blue
We need it stat

[Pre-Chorus]
I got the reason
That makes you go
In midair
Suspended animation
Layin' down on the rug
Start it with a little tug
And I got a nickel
That says you will

[Chorus]
Headfirst
Headfirst
Headfirst
You'll compromise
You'll let us in
You'll spread 'em wide
We're divin' in headfirst
Headfirst
[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge]
It all starts
With a kiss of death
Move on
Down to ya knees
In headfirst
Take a deep breath
Down there
You look so at ease
It all ends
With an all-out dive
This time
I think ya do

[Pre-Chorus]
Say you will
Say you won't
I don't care
If you don't
But I got a nickel
That says you do

[Chorus]
Headfirst
Headfirst
Headfirst
You'll compromise
You'll let us in
You'll spread 'em wide
We're divin' in headfirst
Headfirst
[Guitar Solo Outro]
