Memorize the Dictionary - Cliffside Lyrics

What's this
What's this
What's this that I'm hearing
It's the sound of all the safe things crumbling
The sound of my heart thumping
Up and out of me

What's this
What's this
What's this that I'm feeling
It's a wave of cold apprehension
A terrifying weight of tension
Coursing through my veins

Lay your head on my shoulder
Smile wide and call me over
Let me know that I belong
If only for a moment

Have a carefree, happy gaze
While counting nights and counting days
Listening to the sound of starlight, unafraid

I woke up
I woke up
I fell out of the nest
I stood up and felt the sun

Listen
Can you listen
Listen to the weight that's lifted
Off my chest into the air
Rhythm transferred from my heart
To yours and back again

It's like this to be alive
It's like this to be alive
The idea that everything is fleeting
Teetering on the cliffside, thinking
This fall is too steep

It's like this to be alive
It's like this to be alive
The idea that you're bound to stumble
Leaving everything to crumble
Down into the dark

It's like this to be alive
It's like this to be alive
You can lose it all and end up falling
Lose your legs and end up crawling
Down into the night

And you're teetering on the cliffside anyway
You're teetering on the cliffside anyway
