lyrics

Love is like diving from the sky
It’s nice when you’re falling
Hurts when you hit the ground
And I don’t know the reason why I try again
And is the flying worth the fall
Do moments above heal a life alone
From high and low,
I’ve seen it all
And soaring love
Is worth a broken bone

The sky’s made for flying
But fear keeps me lying on the ground

Here I stand, open wide
And yet still I can’t confide
I want you to know, every day
I meant every word that I didn’t say

It’s been a while since I’ve tried
Skydiving into the open air
And it’s a figment of my pride
To say I don’t care
But in my dreams I see your face
And only then can I find the words
And then I wake up with a start
And I’m lying alone

The sky’s made for flying
But fear keeps me lying on the ground

Here I stand, open wide
And yet still I can’t confide
I want you to know, every day
I meant every word that I didn’t say

Didn’t say why your eyes can burn
Burn into my mind which cannot unlearn
Emerald eyes and auburn hair, a golden heart makes me aware
The ground is in the rear view and I’m
Taking to the sky again

Here I stand, open wide
And yet still I can’t confide
I want you to know, every day
I meant every word that I
That I
Want you to know
I want you to know, every day
I meant every word that I
Every word that I
Didn’t say
