lyrics

Emily, I finally found the edge
No one could’ve told me but I knew it when I saw it so I leapt
The air was cool across my chest
Falling was so beautiful, I brushed my spirit off and fell again

Emily, I think I am in love
Everything I ever knew is woven through the fabric of a touch
I lie awake and wait for god
A weary unbeliever finally feeling something greater taking off

But what if flying doesn’t take, will I always feel this way

Emily, I cannot be alone
Something deep inside of me is full of straining wire and bullet holes
I lay down on that sinking boat
Land on the horizon but the doves are blind and flying way too low

Emily, it’s everything at once
Bad news in the morning and an orchid blooming by the wall out front
It’s looking down, it’s looking up
A mattress by the highway or a mansion, marble lions line the walk

And what if flying doesn’t take, will I always feel this way

Emily, the rain is on the roof
The corrugated metal and the rattle of each drop it tells a truth
A morse code, a royal blue
A letter to a lover lost somewhere between together and just you

Emily, I’m scared of getting old
Losing every battle with a body slowly growing still and cold
I want to free my fearful soul
Climb above the buildings til I’m filled up with a heaven I can hold

But what if flying doesn’t take, and we’re alive only to ache
Running wild and tempting fate
A brilliant fire, a silver blade
Will I always feel this way, will I always feel this way, will I always feel this way
