[Verse 1] I was fine with my feet on the ground, I wasn’t looking for anything more. Then you came walking up to me like somehow you already knew. One hand resting over my heart, hiding how hard it beat. You reached out yours toward me, and I followed you to the edge. [Pre-Chorus] I was scared, but I didn’t say a word, I looked at your eyes, then down at the fall. And when your fingers closed around mine, I jumped without thinking of tomorrow. [Chorus] And I flew, I flew with you, so high the earth just disappeared. The wind in my hair, your laughter next to mine, I felt so good I forgot to be afraid. I had never dreamed about the sky, but in your hand it felt like forever. And if loving you could feel like this, I could have stayed up there with you. [Verse 2] I watched all the little lights below grow smaller underneath our feet. Everything that used to scare me finally felt so far away. I thought as long as your hand was still gently holding mine, I could cross any empty space without ever looking behind. [Pre-Chorus] Then I felt the wind begin to change, without knowing I was falling down. I reached my hand back out for yours, certain you would still be there. [Chorus — fragile] But I’m falling, falling without you, and the sky gets further every time. My fingers still search for yours in the wind, as if they could somehow turn back time. I miss you even in that sky that felt almost endless by your side. I never asked to learn to fly, and now I have to learn to fall. [Bridge] I don’t call your name, I don’t chase after you, I just hold my heart against my chest. One hand over it, the other in the air, while everything I opened slowly closes again. I don’t regret your hand or the jump, or that moment when we were so high. But something inside me finally learned you can touch the sky… and still fall alone. [Final Chorus] I flew, I really flew with you, maybe that’s why it feels so cold down here. Because once you’ve known that light above, the ground never feels quite the same. So I’ll keep that sky somewhere inside, your laughter, the wind, the warmth of your hand. But if tomorrow you come looking for me again… maybe I’ll follow. [Silence] Only this time, I’ll be afraid to fly.
