Will you come down off there?
It's a heavenly height
For someone so fragile and haunted at night
And i cannot save you
Try as i might
I'm wasting myself but i want to take flight
Oh kid, if i could, i would try

So they gave you the bible
But the good book just lied
'cause nobody said life would be such a trial
And now there are tears in your eyes

It's a long way down
Don't look down, don't look down
And it's hard holding on
But grace will come, so kid hold on

'cause i just want to love you
I just want to try
'cause life is so short and we're both gonna die
So put your head on my shoulder
Lift your eyes to the sky
You're my blood and my baby and we're gonna fly
As long as we're here we must try

It's a long way down
Don't look down, don't look down
And it's hard holding on
But grace will come, so kid hold on

I just want to love you
I just want to try
'cause life is so short and we're both gonna die
But take a deep breath, let's fly
