lyrics

The trapeze man stares at the audience
He’s nervous since he’s never seen a crowd in such impatience
They want him to go as high as no one has ever gone before
They want him to fall to crack to be rebuilt then they’ll ask for more

Arms stretch
Hoping someone’s there
With tender arms
And a tight grip

The fall lasts forever but she doesn’t make a sound
All lovers gasp as her body hits the ground
She answers to a name but no one seems to be calling
Last words she says:
"The closest thing we have from flying is falling"

Arms stretch
Hoping someone's there
With tender arms
And a tight grip
To keep him
Over their abyss
And keep him safe forever

But there’s no safety net
Soon gravity puts them apart
She remembers they promised to talk
It’s over now
Over now
One will fall
One always falls
