Lyrics:
At the top of the world, no one around,
I can see everything, but nothing makes a sound.
And I’m as weightless and aimless as the passing clouds,
Looking at a long way down...
Well you took my hand, and away we flew,
To the top of the world, I followed you.
But the distance between us grew and grew,
Now I’m looking at a long way down...
Let me down easy when you let me down,
Gravity pulling me pound by pound.
As high as I climbed, I’m falling now,
So let me down easy when you let me down.
I’m higher now than the birds can fly,
I could just reach out my hand and touch the sky.
And the stars are so close, I can feel their fire.
Looking at a long way down...
You said what comes around, goes around.
By the wind I’m blown, but by the world I’m bound.
So I know what goes up must come down.
It’s such a long way down...
I can’t look forward to anything,
When I’m always watching my back.
Wondering what I’m missing,
I never see what I have.
Hoping and wanting and wishing,
Dwelling on all I lack,
Treating life like a one-man mission,
Running from anything
That could possibly hold me back.
Let me down easy...
Let me down easy...
Let me down easy when you let me down,
Gravity pulling me pound by pound.
As high as I climbed, I’m falling now,
So let me down easy when you let me down.
