    He squeezes her hand tighter and tries not to look down
    It seems like million miles between them and the ground
    A space that keeps on filling with things that go unsaid
    They’ve grown so far away from the lives that they once led

    He says weren’t we once flying or were we just getting high
    Off of all the things that we said we’d never let die
    Now there’s nowhere to go and nothing left to say
    I can’t see tomorrow through the pain of yesterday

    We’re here on this mountain and there’s no going back
    No way to get down now that we’ve gotten off track
    This cliff that we’re standing on is crumbling like my dreams
    Into the abyss where all that escapes are echoes of screams

    Perhaps as an act of defiance or just one where hope is bereft
    They jump off the edge, trusting in faith with all they’ve got left
    Suddenly they realize for once in their life they’re finally free
    All it took was taking a chance and now it’s all too clear to see

    You can’t focus on tomorrow or you’ll miss what happening today
    And that taking a chance is better than letting one just slip away
    Because even though you cant get hurt if you never try,
    If you never love and you never jump then you’ll never fly....
