lyrics

Look at me freefalling, free as a bird freefalling,
‘Till I hit the ground, ow bump!
The world is mine for the taking,
Maybe I should just take it,
‘Till I’m shot right down,
‘s’gotta hurt.

But maybe I should wait ‘till I’m older,
Until my writing’s on the wall

Take me away and I’m nothing,
Nothing to do with me I’m sure,
I think I’ll make the headlines of the paper,

But maybe I should wait ‘till I’m bolder,
Until my writing’s in the column.

Don’t fly, it’s too high,
What if we, crash and burn,
It’s not our turn to go,
So stay with me, in safety,
It might be dull, but there’ll be many more,
Dull days.

At least we’ll still be here,
That’s what I’ll say
At least we’ll still be here,
We’ll be here all day,
At least we’ll still be here,
Until the time has mangled us,
And crushed our hopes and chance and fear,
And without fear what are we? We’re just nothing.
