[Verse 1] I took the leap ‘cause the voice sounded sure. Blind faith, both feet, then the floor disappeared. It wasn’t loud at first, just the drop in the chest. Then the whole night opened and I met the rest. Devastating ain’t a word, it’s a body on tile. It’s learning “I got you” can still mean a while. I didn’t break pretty. I broke where it counts. Got up anyway with the doubt in my mouth. [Pre-Chorus] I had to stand. I had to shake. I don’t owe the fall a second mistake. [Chorus] Blind faith took me over the edge. I believed the catch before I felt the pledge. Now a new hand’s open in the dark. I might take it — I won’t trust it yet. Hold me if you mean it. Prove it when I slip. I ain’t calling it faith ‘til it carries the grip. [Verse 2] You look like safety. That’s a loaded word. Last time safety smiled, I fell through the earth. I can take the hand, I can let it lift. I just won’t lean my whole life on the gift. Get back up, dust the coat, keep the curse from the speech. I’m here. I’m cautious. That ain’t a breach. You want the old leap, I don’t sell that cheap. I sell a maybe with the bruises I keep. [Rap] Fell once, hit hard, had to learn how to stand. Now you reach like the ground never opened its hand. I see the offer, I ain’t throwing it back. I’m just not betting my bones on the catch. Take it? Yeah. Trust it? Not on a vow. Trust it when it holds — not before, not now. Blind faith already spent what I had to spend. The proof is all I need, baby, if you want in. [Chorus] Blind faith took me over the edge. I believed the catch before I felt the pledge. Now a new hand’s open in the dark. I might take it — I won’t trust it yet. Hold me if you mean it. Prove it when I slip. I ain’t calling it faith ‘til it carries the grip. [Outro] I’ll take the hand. I won’t give it the fall. Not until it catches me and I know that’s all.
