“Skydiving” is the second track on the album “Skin & Earth” and is representative of the first issue in the tie-in comic series by the same name. The song serves as an introduction to En’s feelings for Priest, a stranger who she doesn’t know much about.
In En’s own words, she knows that caring...
[Verse 1]
It all starts here, with a rush of blood to the head
And I feel no fear
And nothing's happening yet
You pull me in
I'm doing things I never would do
My pulse, racing
I'm coming alive with you
[Pre-Chorus]
Free fall with me
Get a little unruly
No guts, no glory
You said to me, "Get a little unruly
No guts, no glory"
[Chorus]
You got me skydiving
You got me high flying
Oh, I'm jumping off of the world now, uh
Never stop, never slow down
Skydiving
[Verse 2]
I take the leap without a parachute
'Cause I can't keep my hands away from you
And I'm all in
It's too late to turn around
Adrenaline has taken my body now
[Pre-Chorus]
Free fall with me
Get a little unruly
No guts, no glory
[Chorus]
You got me skydiving
You got me high flying
Oh, I'm jumping off of the world now, uh
Never stop, never slow down
Skydiving
[Refrain]
I'm going down, down, down, down
I'm going down, down, down, down
I'm going down, down, down, down
I'm going skydiving
[Bridge]
Boy, you're leaving a mark on me
Diving into me so slowly
Always making it so easy to convince me
Boy, you're leaving a mark on me
Diving into me so slowly
Always making it so easy to convince me
[Chorus]
You got me skydiving
You got me high flying
Oh, I'm jumping off of the world now, uh
Never stop, never slow down
Skydiving
[Refrain]
(Skydiving)
I'm going down, down, down, down
(You got me skydiving)
I'm going down, down, down, down
(You got me highflying)
I'm going down, down, down, down
(You got me)
I'm going skydiving
I'm going down
