Long way down

Long way down

There’s something I’ve got to ask you baby, it’s been weighing on my mind.
And this might not be the time but I’ve got to know.
I guess you know the way I feel about you, I’ve made no secret of my heart.
Now I’ve finally reached the part where I’ve got to know...

‘Cause it’s a long way down, and I’d be lost by the time my feet touched the ground.
It’s a long way down....too far to fall.

I’ve been the odd man on the outside. Yes, I’ve been that guy before.
And with my heart down on the floor I swore I’d never see the day.
And so I’m asking you this question here and now, before you answer think it through,
If there’s a chance for me and you I’ve got to know....I’ve got to know.

‘Cause it’s a long way down, and I’d be lost by the time my feet touched the ground.
It’s a long way down....too far to fall.

When I’m with you I conquer anything,
feels like I could reach right out and touch the sky.
Before the day I finally found you these wings had never flown so high.
No, they’d never flown so high…

But it’s a long way down, a long way down yes it is.
And if I’ve got to fall, then I will.
But it’s a long way down.
A long way down.
A long way down.
A long, long way to fall.
