Jump Don'T Trip

Let's JUMP to CONCLUSIONS, lay out all expectations, 
doubt each other from the start.
Put up ALL OUR walls Never open up.
 Let's try to for get we're falling hard.
 Keep all of our thoughts tied up. All of our words at the backs of our throats. 
Swallow the inevitable.
 LIVE for the Days spent alone just us Pretending to BE something we're not.
IF only for a DAY, 
If only for a WEEK, 
and If only for a year.
 If you're going to take the fall,
Jump DON"T Trip.
Make it count,
do it with POISE.
