Perpetual motion the image won't focus
A blur is all that's seen
But here in this moment like the eye of the storm
It all came clear to me
I found a shoulder to lean on
An infallible reason to live all by itself
I took one last look from the heights that I once loved
And then I ran like hell
Refrain:
Wings won't take me
Heights don't phase me
So take a step
But don't look down
Take a step

A#
I know, I know
C
Then let that time be right now
