A long way down.

[Short instrumental intro] [Pause] [Verse] They said it'd be bad, so why did you look through fingertips of the hand that I took? I'm falling in love. I shout, "look out below!" It's a long way down, but I said that I'll go. [Verse] I knew that you'd laugh, so why did I ask? Me, with my love letters, covered in black. They're pages that struggle to explain what I know. It's a long way down, but I swear that I'll go. [Chorus] I know you said "Yes", and... You know I said "Yes", and... I held up your hand, said, "I understand you, understand?" "I understand." "I understand." [Pause] [Verse] I've tried to be good, so don't I deserve this? My hands are worthless without yours to flirt with. To have and to hold; I'm head over toe. It's a long way down, but you know that I'll go. [Verse] "I thought that it'd hurt, so where's all the violence?" Your lips, they whisper, and convince mine of silence. But now that I see what awaits me below... I loosen my grip; I slip and let go. [Instrumental breakdown] [Heavy bridge] I slip and let go. I slip and let go. [Pause] [Outro] I know you said "Yes", and... ...I slip and let go. You know I said "Yes", and... ...I slip and let go. [End]
