lyrics

I almost took the leap
But instead I flew away
It was weird, it felt like when I jumped I'd grown wings
When I landed I was crying
Not because I'd woken up
But because I'd woken up without the wings I grew when I was falling

I almost took the leap
But I was afraid I would wake up without wings again
It's strange, isn't it?
How you can miss something that was never there?

//

Hold my hand this time
I think it'll be alright
Tell me some things to remember on my darkest days

Hold my hand this time
It'll be a bit longer than last time
When too soon I thought I was ready
Oh hold me steady

And our shoulders will shake
And our hearts, they will break
And my mind will go off to darker places

And I will be gone a while
As my mind will be put on trial
For my health you'll trade in a smile
But I need you to

Hold my hand
(It's scary I know, for you and me both)
Hold my hand this time
(I think it'll be just fine)
Tell me some things to remember on my darkest days
(Touch my fingertips and hold my face as I cry)

And I promise you, I'll be back someday
