I was just an acrobat High above the street Pointing at the ground, the empty sky beneath my feet The perfect fall No one could tell at all That it was killing me
You were just an astronaut Floating on a spark Tearing up the atmosphere, burning down the dark as you fell in The heat against your skin Till it got too bright to see
Far away I hear the things they say about me Even though They know you had to go without me
Now you are an architect Setting up the sea Everyone is with you and you're all waiting for me You check the net But you haven't caught me yet They're not quite done with me
Now I am an arsonist Seven miles high Burning through the air, I breathe thunder in the sky My engine sings As it melts this pair of wings That only I can see
Touch the sun My eyes wide open, unbelieving Catch a breath The only one who's left is leaving
