Look Before You Leap

This early summer so uncertain

Between the crosses, row on row

November children, never sleeping

Beneath the falling snow

Empty arms that reach out for you

Watch the Earth turn at your feet

I have lost my innocence

In the winter of my, my discontent

Look before you leap

Standing right on the edge

I can see my whole life pass before my eyes

So think before you speak

If you get in over your head

You can lose by a heartbeat

Here we are now, high above this

This perfect Earth beneath the sky

All the humans, all the lovers

Dream their dreams as we go by

Love is plenty, love is famine

In empty fields where airplanes die

Kill the engines as we fly

We are parachutes against the sky

Look before you leap

Standing right on the edge

I can see my whole life pass before my eyes

So think before you speak

If you get in over your head

You can lose by a heartbeat

Lose by a heartbeat

Did you think this was a game?

Where we could spread our wings

And fly away, fly away

Look before you leap

Standing right on the edge

I can see my whole life pass before my eyes

So think before you speak

If you get in over your head

You can lose by a heartbeat

Look before you leap
