you say

You say we’re falling for people 

Who aren’t ready to catch us yet

But what if they’re standing

With their arms outstretched

It’s super high from up here

I need reassurance

Mine makes me a promise

Yours tells you he’s being honest

He swears but

I fear

The fall a little less

When I don't know exactly how

Far I’ll go

What if it’s our own fault we looked down

When everyone warned us not to do just that

What if we’re too afraid of the distance

You swear but

He fears

That the fall will leave him wanting,

Waiting

That the fall will leave you reeling,

Reaching 

It’s such a long way down

Is it too far?

How long

Will they stick around?
