[Intro]

I'm on the edge, I'm scared to jump

You pushed me off, I'm falling up


[Verse 1]

Yo, I never dreamed of becoming an astronaut

I guess we never really have a say up in the master plot

Everytime you walk into the room, the sun ain't half as hot

You got people falling every step is an assassin shot

I was in my darkest hour, you wanted to do the favor

Ready to abandon ship and then you came and threw the anchor

Your vibrations lavender and pushed me to get through the anger

I can feel you in my bones and I don't think you're of human nature

I hope that I'm making sense, I wish I could explain it

Cause you're a work of art, it's simply hard for me to paint it

I look into your eyes and I can see a fire blazing

Should I feel you in the thunder and the lightning when it's raining


[Pre-Chorus]

Everyday you hold me down you're my gravity

Take my breath, love me to death be my casualty

You got me back and forth between reality

You brought the beauty right out of this tragedy, yeah


[Chorus]

I'm on the edge, I'm scared to jump

You pushed me off, I'm falling up

You hold me down when I'm leaving the ground

You know you take my breath away

You got me stuck in outer space

When you're around I don't wanna come down


[Verse 2]

I'm a walking warzone with no occupants

A nuclear disaster's pretty obvious

Everybody stayed away but you just did the opposite

I was drownin' in my head until you brought me oxygen

Started at Chernobyl now we building skyscrapers

I was shooting for the stars I guess you didn't mind craters

Cause you walked into my path and peeled back nine layers

Then you brought me back to life and said that I could die later

Now you got me feeling so alive yet when I see those oval eyes

The way they always stand out seems to make a kid immobilized

Unique you've been your own design, you’re never mad and only kind

You got me convinced the greatest girl alive is only mine, cause


[Pre-Chorus]

You came around and you started a fire

Girl, I was the gasoline, you were the lighter

And now every time I don't think I can get higher

I go hit you up you're my greatest supplier


[Chorus]

I'm on the edge, I'm scared to jump

You pushed me off, I'm falling up

You hold me down when I'm leaving the ground

You know you take my breath away

You got me stuck in outer space

When you're around I don't wanna come down
