[Intro | pulsing guitar | close restrained vocal] I check the lock twice I read every sign I like knowing where I’ll land [Verse 1 | palm-muted guitar | tight drums] I keep both feet on solid ground I take the stairs and count them down I never lean across the edge Or make a promise I might regret I know the exits in every room I leave before I want to Then you look at me like fear Is just another thing to move through [Pre-Chorus | drums build | vocal rises] You take one step I take one back You hold your hand out I forget the plan My heart says go My head says wait But you make danger Feel like faith [Chorus | full guitars | powerful lead] No safety net No second guess If I go over I’m giving everything No safety net Nothing underneath You make me want to jump Before I’m ready to believe I’ve never been this close To letting go yet But here I am No safety net [Post-Chorus | layered vocal] No way down No turning back Here I am No safety net [Verse 2 | driving bass | stronger vocal] I wrote a list of reasons why This ends badly every time Then you drew a little heart Beside the reasons in the margin That shouldn’t make me laugh It definitely shouldn’t work But every careful little rule Looks ridiculous beside you You never promised me forever You just asked me for tonight Somehow that feels more honest Than a guarantee disguised [Pre-Chorus | wider drums | octave harmony] You take one step I take one too The edge looks different Standing next to you My heart says go My head says wait Maybe fear and trust Can sound the same [Chorus | full guitars | stacked harmonies] No safety net No second guess If I go over I’m giving everything No safety net Nothing underneath You make me want to jump Before I’m ready to believe I’ve never been this close To letting go yet But here I am No safety net [Instrumental | 8 bars | melodic electric guitar] [Bridge | piano and exposed lead vocal] If I fall Don’t promise that you’ll save me Just tell me that the risk Was mine to take I spent my whole life Trying not to break But maybe being careful Is another kind of cage [Build | heartbeat kick | guitars gradually enter] I can feel the ground Getting farther from my feet I can hear you say my name Three Two— [Final Chorus | full studio arrangement | escalating belts] NO SAFETY NET NO SECOND GUESS IF I GO OVER I’M GIVING EVERYTHING No safety net Nothing underneath You made me want to jump Now watch me finally believe I’ve never been this close To letting go yet But here I am No safety net [Climactic Refrain | highest sustained belt] I’M FINALLY— FREE———————— [Upper harmony enters beneath sustained note] Free (Free) No ground No regret Here I am No safety net [Outro | piano and fading guitar] I didn’t know where I would land [Brief pause] I jumped anyway
