(Verse 1)
I'm looking through to what this all comes down to
I'm looking for just a little more, a taste of happiness
This world keeps spinning me around, I can't see clearly
I got no way to find the ground and I've gotta move on
(Chorus A)
But what if I fall?
What if I fail?
What if I find I'm out on a limb?
And what if I fly?
What if I sail?
What if I find that it's better than ever before?
(Verse 2)
Red sky at night, you tell me there's good yet to come
I think I might find a little more, a taste of happiness
I've built these walls around myself, I can't see over
And all these lines I tell myself, so I don't have to try
(Chorus B)
Cause what if I fall?
What if I fail?
What if I find I'm out on a limb?
And what if I fly?
What if I sail?
What if I find that it's better than ever before?
(Vocal/Humming solo)
(Chorus C)
Cause what if I fall?
What if I fail?
What if I find I'm out on a limb?
And what if I fly?
What if I sail?
What if I find that it's better than ever, yeah
(Chorus D/Denouement)
What if I fall?
What if I fail?
What if I find I'm out on a limb?
And what if I fly?
What if I sail?
What if I find that it's better than ever before?
Better than ever before
Better than ever before
