Nod when you're ready and I will let go
I have never felt this alive before
Remember to bend your knees before we land
And whatever you do, don't let go of my hand
And if I go flying, it will be with you
Or I will never go flying I will stay down
I will stay down
Before I was yours, I belonged to the Earth
But up in the ether, I can see all its worth
And all things either good or bad or nothing at all
And our house down below what a wild way to fall!
And if I go flying, it will be with you
Or I will never go flying I will stay down
I will stay down
And with our paper wings folded up in our van
It was up here I found out who I am
But if you should forsake me, then I will stay here
Bound by the Earth, and bound by my tears (by my tears!)
And if I go flying, it will be with you
Or I will never go flying I will stay down
Darlin' and if I go flying, it will be with you
Or I will never go flying I will stay down
I will stay down!
