Up

When you’re young
You go it alone
It doesn’t feel strange
But once you breathe
The thin air of love
You’re never the same
A shout from your heart
And everything’s changed

And when you hear love call
I know you’ll fear the fall
Dizzy with vertigo
But we’re born to thrive
At these breathless heights
Up is the way to go

Like a knot
That slips round your heart
And pulls itself tight
When love is lost
The mark that it made
Will always abide
But day after day
That scar, it will fade
At last, unafraid
You’ll let your heart speak up for you again

And when you hear love call
I know you’ll fear the fall
Dizzy with vertigo
But your heart will thrive
At these breathless heights
Up is the way to go
