Twenty Stories Up
The wind blows through your hair
At much higher speeds
Twenty stories up
The world scales down
Like a model
Twenty stories up
Two hundred feet drops off
In a surreal fashion
Twenty stories up
You can picture yourself
On the front of a movie poster
Twenty stories up
You think you can survive the fall
Landing on a soft pillow of cement
Twenty stories up
I told her not to leave
She wouldn't come down the stairs she used to go
Twenty stories up
It feels great to let go
Of both the world and your self
Twenty stories up
My life wouldn't feel as empty
If they wouldn't let you go
Twenty stories up
