[Verse 1]
You always find the exit sign in a crowded room (Ah)
Everybody wants their shot, but you're bulletproof (Ah-ah-ah-ah)
Don't like the feeling when your arms unfold
A fire's burning, but your cave has gone cold
And you know you can't stay here forever
[Pre-Chorus]
So you're scared, you don't think you're ready yet
We'll take it slow, I'll walk with you on the edge
Paint the colors on top of the sunset
I can do this all for you
[Chorus]
So give me one night, one minute
And I'll watch you fall like an avalanche
Let your walls down, I swear you won't regret it
Hold on tight, baby, if you can
We'll be rolling fast, and crashing hard
Hear the mountains roar to the beat of our hearts
And we'll be falling like an avalanche
And we'll be falling like an avalanche
[Verse 2]
Staring at the waves, but you don't wanna drown again (Ah)
Wish that you could feel the water come pouring in (Ah-ah-ah-ah)
The blood is rushing, but you're paralyzed
Defenseless, but you feel so alive
I think that you can love me forever
[Pre-Chorus]
So you're scared, you don't think you're ready yet
We'll take it slow, I'll walk with you on the edge
Paint the colors on top of the sunset
I can do this all for you
[Chorus]
So give me one night, one minute
And I'll watch you fall like an avalanche
Let your walls down, I swear you won't regret it
Hold on tight, baby, if you can
We'll be rolling fast, and crashing hard
Hear the mountains roar to the beat of our hearts
And we'll be falling like an avalanche
And we'll be falling like an avalanche
Like an avalanche
Like an avalanche
[Bridge]
Go ahead and close your eyes
The thunder will pass us by
It's beautiful to fall apart
Oh, the storm is gonna break when we start
Go ahead and close your eyes
Listen 'til the wind goes silent
We can let our hearts run free
Baby, you can have a life with me
Everybody wants their shot, but you're bulletproof
[Chorus]
So give me one night, one minute
And I'll watch you fall like an avalanche
Let your walls down, I swear you won't regret it
Hold on tight, baby, if you can
We'll be rolling fast, and crashing hard
Hear the mountains roar to the beat of our hearts
And we'll be falling like an avalanche
And we'll be falling like an avalanche
[Outro]
(Like an avalanche, like an avalanche)
We'll be falling, we'll be falling like an avalanche
(Like an avalanche, like an avalanche)
We'll be falling, we'll be falling like an avalanche
(Like an avalanche, like an avalanche)

Critics have noted this song’s “tropical” and anthemic feel, due to the percussive elements and the grandiose production. In her interview with Idolator, FLETCHER said:
