about
The band describes what inspired this song as: "Having both a fear of failure and a fear of success while feeling alternately weak and strong leaves one just trying to be good to themselves."
lyrics
Setting up for action,
am I setting up to fail?
Ticking off some strategy,
bulleting my fears.
Breaking out or breaking up
and falling on my feet?
Here’s to a good landing,
but I’m shaking in my seat.
I’m failing on my feet.
Don’t look down.
Don’t look down.
Keep coming up for air,
but it’s never there.
Don’t look down. Yeah.
Frozen and immobile,
I’m a million miles away.
Numb and dumb and overcome.
But everything’s ok!
Well enough, I’m going in.
I’m gonna seize the day.
Uncertainty is hurting me.
HEY YOU OUTTA MY WAY.
I’m veering off the track.
Don’t look down.
Don’t look down.
I’m up on a high line.
EVERYTHING IS FINE.
Don’t look down. Yeah.
Don’t look down.
Another indication of
Don’t look down.
Needing a nudge, a gentle shove.
Don’t look down.
Some kind of message from above.
Don’t look down.
Remember:
SAVE YOURSELF SOME LOVE.
