[English]

Hold on, I know you're scared but you're so close to Heaven

Eyes shut tight, just pretend you're like a feather

Float on the clouds together but don't look down, not ever

Don't ask why, just look out into forever

All this time you're just trying not to lose it

You can always learn to fly, you never do until you do it

Up high in the middle of nowhere

Don't know, but you know when you get there

Walk slow and low on a tight rope

Hope it last but you know, you never know

Take a chance we can dance up in mid air

Feels so good, I could die, but I don't care

Walk slow and low on a tight rope

Hope it lasts but you know, you never know

You never know

We're just a step from fearless, reach out for me my dearest

Don't you cry, you don't know you're almost near it

All this time you're just trying not to lose it

You can always learn to fly, you never do until you do it

Up high in the middle of nowhere

Don't know, but you know when you get there

Walk slow and low on a tight rope

Hope it lasts but you know, you never know

Take a chance we can dance up in mid air

Feels so good I could die, but I don't care

Walk slow and low on a tight rope

Hope it lasts but you know, you never know

Oh, oh, you never know

You never know

Oh, oh, you never know

You never know

Up high in the middle of nowhere

...

Don't know, but you know when you get there

Walk slow and low on a tight rope

Hope it lasts but you know, you never know

Take a chance we can dance up in mid air

Feels so good I could die, but I don't care

Walk slow and low on a tight rope

Hope it lasts but you know, you never know

Up high in the middle of nowhere

Don't know, but you know when you get there

Walk slow and low on a tight rope

Hope I last but you know, you never know

Oh, oh, you never know

You never know

Oh, oh, you never know

You never know
