Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I love the feeling when we lift off
Watching the world so small below
I love the dreaming when I think of
The safety in the clouds out my window
[Verse 2]
I wonder what keeps us so high up
Could there be a love beneath these wings
If we suddenly fall should I scream out
Or keep very quiet and cling to
[Verse 3]
My mouth as I'm crying
So frightened of dying
Relax, yes, I'm trying
But fear's got a hold on me
[Verse 4]
Yes this fear's got a hold on me
Yes this fear's got a hold on me
[Verse 5]
I love the quiet of the nighttime
When the sun is drowned in the deathly sea
I can feel my heart beating as I speed from
The sense of time catching up with me
[Verse 6]
They sky's set out like a pathway
But who decides which route we take
As people drift into a dreamworld
I close my eyes as my hands shake
[Verse 7]
And when I see a new day
Who's driving this anyway
I picture my own grave
'Cause fear's got a hold on me
[Verse 8]
Yes this fear's got a hold on me
Yes this fear's got a hold on me
Yes this fear's got a hold on me
Yes this fear's got a hold on me
[Verse 9]
Floating neither up or down
I wonder when I'll hit the ground
Will the earth beneath my body shake
And cast your sleeping hearts awake
[Verse 10]
Could it tremble stars from moonlit skies
Could it drag a tear from your cold eyes
I live on the right side, I sleep on the left
That's why everything's got to be love or death
[Verse 11]
Yes this fear's got a hold on me
Yes this fear's got a hold on me
Yes this fear's got a hold on me
Yes this fear's got a hold on me
Yes this fear's got a hold on me
Yes this fear's got a hold on me
Yes this fear's got a hold on me
Yes this fear's got a hold on me
