This early summer so uncertain Between the crosses, row on row November children, never sleeping Beneath the falling snow Empty arms that reach out for you Watch the Earth turn at your feet I have lost my innocence In the winter of my, my discontent Look before you leap Standing right on the edge I can see my whole life pass before my eyes So think before you speak If you get in over your head You can lose by a heartbeat Here we are now, high above this This perfect Earth beneath the sky All the humans, all the lovers Dream their dreams as we go by Love is plenty, love is famine In empty fields where airplanes die Kill the engines as we fly We are parachutes against the sky Look before you leap Standing right on the edge I can see my whole life pass before my eyes So think before you speak If you get in over your head You can lose by a heartbeat Lose by a heartbeat Did you think this was a game? Where we could spread our wings And fly away, fly away Look before you leap Standing right on the edge I can see my whole life pass before my eyes So think before you speak If you get in over your head You can lose by a heartbeat Look before you leap
