Lyrics & Translation

[English]

We're dodging daggers that almost reach

Making mistakes they can never teach

But these silver clouds won't dissolve to black

Let's lose our feet to a leap of faith

And bigger skies that lie in wait

It's a long way down but I got your back

We're out on the edge of it all

Are you ready to freefall?

Ready to freefall?

We're out on the edge of it all

Are you ready to freefall?

Ready to freefall?

So feel the pull of an open thread

Unravel life till there's nothing left

It's a long way down but I got you now

We're out on the edge of it all

Are you ready to freefall?

Ready to freefall?

We're out on the edge of it all

Are you ready to freefall?

Ready to freefall?

Ready to freefall?

Ready to freefall?

Ready to freefall?

Ready to freefall?

Ready to freefall?

We're out on the edge of it all

Are you ready to freefall?

Ready to freefall?

Ready to freefall?

Ready to freefall?

Ready to freefall?
