I Don't Have to Come Down
My stomach's turning inside out
It's full of butterflies
I'm in the middle of a battlefield
with a blindfold on my eyes
You pushed me off a clifftop
you were supposed to hold my hand
And I can't open my parachute
and I've forgotten how to land
But something's lifting me up
won't let me touch the ground
I've got the wind in my hair
and I can't hear a sound
from the crazy world you've left for me
I'm flying...and I don't have to come down
I've got a map and a compass
but nowhere to go
I think I'll head for the sunshine
'cause I'm barefoot in the snow
And as soon as I start walking
I'll know I'm being led
and I can rise above what's going on
and what hasn't happened yet
'Cause something's lifting me up
won't let me touch the ground
I've got the wind in my hair
and I can't hear a sound
from the crazy world you've left for me
I'm flying...and I don't have to come down
