Skydiving

[Verse 1]
Always a few strides
Ahead of me on a hot hike
You've got a hunger for new heights
And I fear your appetite
You climb a tree and my heart pounds
Your lung collapsed last time you fell
High on ketamine
Strapped to a gurney
Sudden clarity when faced with emergency

[Verse 2]
You ain't scared of dogs that bite
I sleep with a night light
You jumped off the roof at five
I never learned how to ride a bike
We cross a bridge
And my heart pounds
I collapsed when I hеard she fell
Found her car, parkеd by the freeway
Overpasses make my head ache

[Chorus]
I won't ever go
Skydiving with you
I won't lay my life on the lines
Of a parachute

[Verse 3]
Your star sign holds me down
Steady Virgo with a furrowed brow
I won't write your name in clouds
But stand before me and I'll kiss the ground
You look at me and my heart pounds
Found the one the first time I fell
Twenty-two, grieving in LA
City of Angels sent you my way

[Chorus]
I won't ever go
Skydiving with you
I won't lay my life on the lines
Of a parachute
I won't ever go
Skydiving with you
I won't ever know what that smile looks like
From an angel's view
