Love always gets me down; I’ve been deceived and chained to the ground

In the belly of a beast composed of lies and heartache

I’ve been buried alive and left alone; trying so hard to get myself home

Sinking even deeper with every mistake

The pain of getting out will cost more than I can take

I make it out and step into the light; thinking this perhaps will make everything right

Seeing the falsehood of it all I scrabble to get to you on the top

Enduring falls that cut like a knife; climbing upon this mountain of life

I won’t lose my chance to fly with an angel so I mustn’t stop

Knowing every step higher there is a greater chance I will drop

I’m in awe as I stand at the base; feeling the warmth from the smile on your face

I plot out my path but your eyes lead me astray

Trying to take every breath of you in; just a mere glance melts the mess I am in

You seem to be so close but you’re really far away

But your heart leads me on which means more than I can say

You speak with love that lightens my pain; leaving me speechless I can not explain

As I climb I envision every moment of bliss

You whisper to me ‘Follow your heart’; once you’re mine, nothing will pull us apart

And goosebumps tickle my spine at the thought of your kiss

No matter how tough I keep climbing; this is something I refuse to miss

I feel the innocents of a dove; and every minute given I am waiting for your love

Everything inside of me is now aching for you

Once in a while I feel myself slip; then I take a deep breath and tighten my grip

I slip again and I become scared, for I know not what to do

I desperately reach for you as you reach back for me too

As you reach for me I start to cry, but sobbing stops short by the look in your eye

I read my fortune in the winding lines of your hand

You let me know its you I can trust; believing you now is my only lust

I’m feeling my past fall away like grains of sand

You have my every thought and my heart is at your command

You give me confidence to rise tall; tell the world; let the stars stand witness to it all

You have me entranced in a love struck spell

Dreaming of feelings true and divine; I notice at once your hand has reached mine

I pray you hold tightly; it’s a long fall to hell

But your golden honey eyes reassure me that all is quite well

As I stand on top with you and bid well to the day; I feel all my pain wither away

It’s nothing short of pure love; no more hurting and no more lying

Starting anew there’s nothing left wrong, instead of defeat I feel safe and strong

Why must I focus on that which makes me feel I am dying

Instead ill stand by you and take my chances with flying

As I prepare to take of, erect and tall, it occurs to me that I’m not flying at all

But instead I’m falling, falling for you which is quite obvious to see

You are carrying me far away which is a thrill; so let consequence do what it will

I’m not afraid anymore I will fall if need be

I don’t need wings as long as you are falling with me
