Soft Place To Land

(album: Between Daylight And Dark - 2007)

Look at me on the high wire
As I attempt to balance safety with desire
Step right up, get your tickets here
What you see should have you trembling with fear
Without a net, here I go
Ladies and gentlemen I promise you a show

As I'm crashing through the clouds I used to walk on
Reaching out for unfamiliar hands
Falling into the eyes of strangers
I wanna smile, but I can't
I'm looking for a soft place to land

When you're up so high it's hard to know
If you look foolish waving to the crowd below
Well, it was plain to everyone but me
Only a fool forgets the pull of gravity
But for a while, didn't I fly?
Didn't I shine like a star up in the sky?

Well, now I'm crashing through the clouds I used to walk on
Reaching out for unfamiliar hands
Falling into the eyes of strangers
I wanna cry, but I can't
I'm looking for a soft place to land

And I remember blue sky
I remember company
I remember laughter
I remember everything

As I'm crashing through the clouds I used to walk on
Reaching out for unfamiliar hands
Falling into the eyes of strangers
I wanna cry, but I can't
I'm looking for a soft place to land
And it's hard to find a soft place to land
Ain't it hard to find a soft place to land?
