Uh, Every now and then it gets too dark to see
Too dark to see just what's in front of me
Every now and then I fall off the edge, right off the ledge
Heels over head
And I'm giving in from trying
Am I really falling or flying?
Am I really living or dying?
Am I really falling,
A
Falling or flying?

Hey, I'm falling up now

I'm falling up c'mon c'mon
Send me a picture
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
From everywhere that you've been
Hey, and then honey c'mon, c'mon, c'mon
And sing it like a polaroid
Yeah-aaah oh oh
And I'm falling up now
