Chicken

Up until now I’ve lasted alright

But I almost said it to you a few times last night

When you did those things you know I love

Show me what’s it like, show me what’s above

Now we’ve started this crazy game

Dating back to the time of our first date

At absurd speeds, we’re approaching head-on

Encouraging it to go so wrong

 

I thought for sure that you’d be the one

To say it first

But I’m breaking down

Now I’m jumping out

 

I’m falling hard

Watch me as I storm the clouds

Say those magic words before I hit the ground

Join me please

Take this nose dive to the sea

Say those words, I’ll pull my chute

And float away with you

 

 

I’m trapped in this cockpit high in the air

I must admit that I’m getting scared

Because the front of your jet is so terrifying,

Shining brightly, amplifying...

 

 

I thought for sure that you’d be the one

To say it first

But I’m breaking down

Now I’m jumping out

 

I’m falling hard

Watch me as I storm the clouds

Say those magic words before I hit the ground

Join me please

Take this nose dive to the sea

Say those words, I’ll pull my chute

And float away with you

 

Our nerves are on fire

Heart rates getting higher

Our eyes growing wider

As we approach the point of no return

The point when it’s too late to swerve

 

Our nerves are on fire

Heart rates getting higher

Our eyes growing wider

As we approach the point of no return

The point where we crash and burn

 

I’m falling hard

Watch me as I storm the clouds 

Say those magic words before I hit the ground

Josey, please

Take this nose dive to the sea

Say those words, I’ll pull my chute

And float away with you
