a lot of love songs are about how hard falling in love is- the risk and the fear. Way i look at it- at least it sucks for both of you...

written Fall '07- some newest of the new. no recycled music or lyrics from years ago. written almost entirely over two nights on Communipaw. recorded in my house in byram. i actually wrote the song in A. its just how it worked out. i knew that would be way to high for me to sing it. so i recorded it in Ab. its still way to high for me to sing it, but it's too late. ha. (i have since figured out a new way to play the music in G that's just right). until that day i'm recording in a real studio, enjoy the song in Ab and my straining at the top of my lungs to sing it.

it's a tightrope walk, and i know i'll fall
if not in love then right the hell off
quick question: what's it like in the air?
on the way down, tell the truth, are you scared?

quick question tell me which sounds worse
a thousand feet down or immortalized in verse
quick question tell me what's your dream come true
i'll tell you mine if you tell me yours

my dream is like that feeling when you're nervous but your sure
and you know that its forever and you hope its even more
i want to take it all for granted but i'll tell you that i don't
and i'll worry less and smile more if i don't go to bed alone

one honest answer that's all i ask
up til now its been a test
and up til now i think i've passed
don't think i didn't study
cuz i sure as hell prepared
and it sure looks high from way up here
and i sure as hell am scared

quick question tell me which sounds worse
a thousand feet down or immortalized in verse
quick question tell me what's your dream come true
i'll tell you mine if you tell me yours

my dream is like that feeling when you're nervous but your sure
and you know that its forever and you hope its even more
i want to take it all for granted but i'll tell you that i don't
and i'll worry less and smile more if i don't go to bed alone

its a party of two
i hope you're not afraid of heights
its a trade off, i suppose, for the security at night
did you ever think you'd be here? did you ever wonder how?
one last question:

who's falling now?
