lyrics

Standing on the rock, too scared of looking over
But you know that you want to jump
Peeling off your jeans, staring at the water
Hoping that nobody comes

You’re as free as a bird, about to take flight
You’ll take this thing down in flames
Well, you’ve got to take heart, and hope it doesn’t kill you
Or your mind doesn’t change
You’re hoping that they don’t find you still holding on
Some birds are never meant to be caged

Working everyday, you’re a real team player
And you hate letting anyone down
Some days you stay late, some days you stay later
While everybody else is gone

You’re hoping that they don’t find you
Still holding on

I look into your eyes, and all I see is water
And the rock that you’re jumping off
I see the woman-girl that should have known better
Back when fear just wasn’t a word.
