I Don't Wanna Fall From Here
By Steve Seskin and Allen Shamblin
HALFWAY UP A FIFTY FOOT MAPLE
STRADDLIN' A LIMB, WONDERIN' IF I'M ABLE
HAD A HAMMER IN ONE HAND, BOARD IN THE OTHER
TRYIN' NOT TO LISTEN TO MY LOUD-MOUTHED BROTHER, YELLIN'
IT'S A LONG WAY DOWN
AND THIS IS SOME REAL HARD GROUND
THAT TREE HOUSE SEEMED LIKE A GOOD IDEA
FROM THE PILLOW OF MY BUNK BED
BUT UP THAT HIGH THERE WAS JUST ONE THING
RUNNIN' THROUGH MY HEAD
I DON'T WANNA FALL FROM HERE
I DON'T WANNA FALL FROM HERE
TWENTY THOUSAND FEET AND WE'RE STILL CLIMBIN'
BOUNCIN' OFF THE CLOUDS THE ENGINE'S WHININ'
HOW DID I GET STUCK WITH THIS WINDOW SEAT
MY SISTER KEEPS SAYIN', MOM THIS IS SO NEAT
I'M SAYIN', I'M TOO YOUNG
AND JUST AS THAT PRAYER LEFT MY TONGUE
THE CAPTAIN SAID, BETTER BUCKLE UP
WE'RE FLYIN' INTO A STORM
I LATCHED ONTO MY MOMMA
TIGHT AS THE DAY THAT I WAS BORN, SAID
I DON'T WANNA FALL FROM HERE
I'VE NEVER BEEN THIS HIGH
UP WHERE THE BRAVEST BIRDS FLY
I'M TRYIN' HARD TO LET GO OF MY FEAR
BUT I DON'T WANNA FALL FROM HERE
IT'S BEEN A LONG TIME SINCE I'VE FELT THAT FEELING
MY HEART IS POUNDING SURE AS I'M HERE KNEELING
GOTTA DIAMOND IN MY POCKET A QUESTION IN MY MOUTH
ANY SECOND NOW IT'S GONNA POP RIGHT OUT
I'M THINKIN' YOU'LL SAY YES
EITHER WAY I'M SCARED TO DEATH
I'M SITTIN' HERE ON TOP OF THE WORLD
AND IT'S ALL BECAUSE OF YOU
FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MY LIFE
I'VE GOT SOMETHIN' TO LOSE
I DON'T WANNA FALL FROM HERE
I DON'T WANNA FALL FROM HERE
I'VE NEVER BEEN THIS HIGH
UP WHERE THE BRAVEST BIRDS FLY
YOUR EYES ARE TELLIN' ME TO HAVE NO FEAR
THAT I'M NOT GONNA FALL FROM HERE
YOU WON'T LET ME FALL FROM HERE
