It's hard to start over with an open mind when your heart has been bruised shut
It's hard to let myself go into your arms when my eyes have been blackened with regret
But if I've learned anything from the wrinkles of age on my watch it's that living in the hurt causes you to rot
Whereas swimming in the moment allows you to just float and forget
And even if you find yourself swallowing the sad melodies after attempting to walk on water the gratitude of the lesson makes it all worth it
So, this time I'm jumping off the cliff to the beginning not the end
And when I fall, I'll dive into your eyes because watching from your perspective adds to the scenery of us
As I let go without trying to grab the air, I tell myself it's ok to love fast as long as you're not recklessly driving
With the wind massaging me and the conclusion approaching
Learning that a period isn't the last breath as long as I decide to keep breathing
Cheers to a falling because it's better to have fell in love than into a ditch
It's better to free fall with the opportunity to get back up than to stay stuck in bed
Back to the cliff, I'm afraid to jump
I still haven't jumped
Then I see your smile
And fear becomes easy to forget
p.s. the cliff doesn't feel as high holding your hand...
