Lyrics

Verse 1

Legs hanging off the ridge

Sky stretching out wide like a giant blue bridge

Feet push away

Gliding where the golden hawks usually stay

Pre-Chorus

Heart beating fast

Thinking this air might actually last

Nothing but blue

Trying to keep my eyes on the view

Chorus

High enough to touch the sun

But gravity won't be undone

I fly and then I plummet down

Until I hit the thirsty ground

Flying is a lie we tell

Falling is the truth as well

I fly and then I plummet down

Below the noise of this quiet town

Verse 2

Wind howling in my ears

Suddenly tasting the salt from my tears

Gravity is heavy

Tugging at the wings I thought were ready

Pre-Chorus

Cloud turning gray

Watching all the distance fade away

Lowering fast

Knew the grace was never gonna last

Chorus

High enough to touch the sun

But gravity won't be undone

I fly and then I plummet down

Until I hit the thirsty ground

Flying is a lie we tell

Falling is the truth as well

I fly and then I plummet down

Below the noise of this quiet town

Bridge

Up there it felt like magic

Down here it feels so tragic

Weightless

Aimless

Blameless

Returning to the stone

Chorus

High enough to touch the sun

But gravity won't be undone

I fly and then I plummet down

Until I hit the thirsty ground

Flying is a lie we tell

Falling is the truth as well

I fly and then I plummet down

Below the noise of this quiet town
