lyrics

I've been having trouble holding altitude
She's thinks that's a little on the nose
What do you expect from me, I've got a one-track mind
And the experts say to stick to what you need

I'm learning to spin
Ignore the facts and figures and what it
Looks like from the ground
I'm learning to spin
There is no shame in spiraling
But I'd rather not look down

I'm not having trouble with the rest of it
There's something about the rumble and the fall
In a single perfect moment when the world starts turning over
And the only way back up is heading down

Put your hands out in front of you
Watch my movements clean and slow
Pushing forward then unwinding
Feel the pressure as it grows
I hear you singing in the stairwells
And I'm pounding out the chords
I know the Earth is getting nearer
Shut your eyes and you won't know
