Wherever I go, wherever I go I have to question the hand that I hold close Wherever I go, wherever I go I have to silence the words that you fear most Don't ever let go, don't ever let go Are we destined to hit the ground below? Don't ever let go, don't ever let go We're at the end of a burning tightrope Now I'm waiting on the corner in the back of your mind It's a lonely place to live, and I got nowhere to hide 'Cause you told me that you'd never be afraid of heights again Nobody ever thought that we could make it this high You're the only one I'd follow 'til the end of time If we fall, we fall together baby, don't think twice again Together I know, together I know That we'd burn like a rocket's afterglow Together I know, together I know We could conquer the stars beyond this world We let it all go, we let it all go I'm just a voice on a broken radio We let it all go, we let it all go We got lost in the constellations Now I'm waiting on the corner in the back of your mind It's a lonely place to live, and I got nowhere to hide 'Cause you told me that you'd never be afraid of heights again Nobody ever thought that we could make it this high You're the only one I'd follow 'til the end of time If we fall, we fall together baby, don't think twice again And after all these years, and all of this time Darling, if I'm still a question in your mind Just say the words and this will end You told me that you'd never be afraid of heights You told me that you'd never be afraid of heights You told me we should never be afraid of heights again You told me that you'd never be afraid of heights You told me that you'd never be afraid of heights If we fall, we fall together baby, don't think twice again Wherever I go, wherever I go I hear your voice on a broken radio Wherever I go, wherever I go I know we'll burn like a rocket's afterglow Don't ever let go, don't ever let go So are we destined to hit the ground below? Don't ever let go, don't ever let go Are we just watching the final chapter close?
