Falling hard, falling fast
somehow landing both feet on the ground
a dream so real, so inspired
still smell the smoke and the fire
when I'm gone, what I fear
the most unthinkable thing
is that somehow I will never
again feel my arms around you

Oh, when I'm gone, feel lost too far away
I try remember your eyes
make you laugh or make you smile
little things that keep me going
a little boy with broken arms
he used to dream that he could fly
a dream so real but he believed
and jumped from the top of the stairs

For a moment he was there
wings spread wide as the sky
but then of course, the world pulled him down
crash landing on the ground

Oh, when I'm gone, lost too far away
I try remember sometimes
you're going to fumble before you find
little things that get you by

If every step, we were sure
what the next step would be
well then at least we could know
how we ended up here

What would change if we were sure
how we ended up here?

Oh, when I'm lost, you're gone too far away
try remember sometimes
you're going to fumble 'til you find
little things that get you by
get you by
