free-fall

I couldn't gauge the distance 

or what this fall might do

I close my eyes, hold you real tight 

and free-fall in love with you 

I feel this rush of passion 

like a needle in a vein 

this drug is mighty addicting 

there's no way I can be saved 

the radiance is astounding 

it shines brightly under the moon 

if I had known how your love felt

I would have fallen much sooner 

so baby, don't you be afraid 

hold me tight and make the leap

I'll be your golden parachute 

what you find is yours to keep
