Soft Place To Land

Look at me, on the high wire

As I attempt to balance safety with desire

Step right up, get your tickets here

What you see should have you trembling with fear

Without a net, here I go

Ladies and gentlemen I promise you a show

As I’m crashing through the clouds I used to walk on

Reaching out for unfamiliar hands

Falling into the eyes of strangers

I wanna smile but I can’t

I’m looking for a soft place to land

When you’re up so high it’s hard to know

If you look foolish waving to the crowd below

It was plain, to everyone but me

Only a fool forgets the pull of gravity

But for a while, didn’t I fly?

Didn’t I shine like a star up in the sky?

Now I’m crashing through the clouds I used to walk on

Reaching out for unfamiliar hands

Falling into the eyes of strangers

I wanna cry but I can’t

I’m looking for a soft place to land

I remember blue sky

I remember company

I remember laughter

I remember everything

As I’m crashing through the clouds I used to walk on

Reaching out for unfamiliar hands

Falling into the eyes of strangers

I wanna cry, but I can’t

I’m looking for a soft place to land

And it’s hard to find a soft place to land

Ain’t it hard to find a soft place to land
