lyrics

Let me down
I cannot help but pick you up
The sound of you falling’s like a drug
That I want, no, I need
I need it with me constantly
Its the only thing holding me up

Let me fall
Like a reckless lover
From a ta ll precipice above
A dark and yawning endless chasm
The faithless and abandoned
The reason why we want to fly
The falling makes me feel so light

There are dreams that we all share but never speak of
There are fears that keep us up all night
And I hope, one day, all the lonely people
Will figure out that they’re all right

Let them fall
like a bottle rocketing in the sky
A riot of white light
And they’ll fall but when the flame is finished
It will not be diminished
The Earth will catch them every time
The falling makes me feel so light
The falling makes me feel so light
The falling makes me feel so light

And if I knew just where I’d be landing
I don’t know if I would go
I’m afraid I have made so many bad choices
All I want to do is just let go

Let me fall
Like a reckless lover
From a tall precipice above
A dark and yawning endless chasm
The faithless and abandoned
The reason why we want to fly
The falling makes me feel so light
