Fear of Heights

Wye Oak

You
Want to take me up
I have always been
Afraid of heights
My body knows
When I am off the ground
Whether I, I'm looking up
Or looking down

And you say it's worth it for the view
For the view
And you say it's worth it for the view
For the view

Later on
I try to write it
Giving up
The meaning is too obvious
My consciousness
Attempts to classify
Like an animal cloud
In a meaningless sky

If I am the woman
You are the staircase
I am the woman
Fear is the window
I am the woman
Climbing is living
I am the woman
Fear is the window

If I am the woman
You are the staircase
I am the woman
Fear is the window
I am the woman
I am the woman

You say it's worth it for the view
For the view (what or who is the view)
You say it's worth it for the view
For the view (what or who is the view)
And you say it's worth it for the view
For the view (what or who is the view, is the view)
