Emerson:
WE HAVEN’T HAD IT EASY, WE’VE BOTH HAD TO BE BRAVE
RESERVE OUR THOUGHTS AND FEELINGS AND BEHAVE THE WAY
THEY NEVER OUTRIGHT SAY BUT THEY EXPECT
AND IF YOU, WAVER THEY SUSPECT

SO I BOTTLED UP MY FEAR, AND I BOARDED UP MY HEART
BUT THEN I SAW YOU HERE, AND THOUGHT, WELL MAYBE I CAN START
TO SHARE MY TRUTH, AND THEN YOU SMILED
AND I KNEW THAT ALL THIS WHILE I’D BEEN WAITING HERE FOR YOU

I KNOW OUR BRIDGE IS PARTIALLY BURNED
OUR COMMON GROUND IS NOT QUITE FIRM
BUT IF YOU TELL ME WHAT I HAVE TO DO
I’LL FLY FROM HERE TO YOU

I KNOW I’VE MADE MISTAKES, I KNOW I’LL MAKE A HUNDRED MORE
I CAN’T OFFER YOU PERFECTION, ALL I’M SURE OF IS

Emerson & Felix:
THE WAY MY SKIN STARTS TINGLING WHEN YOU’RE NEAR
IT’S LIKE THE OPPOSITE OF FEAR

Emerson:
I ONLY PRAY THAT MY APOLOGY’S ENOUGH TO KEEP YOU HERE

Emerson:
I KNOW OUR BRIDGE IS PARTIALLY BURNED

Felix:
I DON’T NEED AN ANCHOR

Emerson:
OUR COMMON GROUND IS NOT QUITE FIRM

Felix:
TO KEEP ME SAFELY TIED DOWN HERE

Emerson:
BUT IF YOU TELL ME WHAT I HAVE TO DO

Felix:
JUMP OF THE PLANK AND I’LL FLY

Emerson:
I’LL FLY FROM HERE TO YOU

Both:
NEITHER OF US TRUSTS VERY EASILY AFTER ALL WE’VE LIVED THROUGH

Emerson:
BUT IF YOU TAKE A STEP TOWARDS ME,

Felix:
PLEASE STEP TOWARDS ME

Emerson:
I’LL DO EVERYTHING I CAN TO GET TO YOU

Felix:
I’LL DO ANYTHING FOR YOU

Emerson:
I WILL LEAP THE BRIDGE IN A SINGLE BOUND
OR I’LL LAY STEPPING STONES UPON OUR GROUND
YES I WILL SWIM THE OCEANS, BEACH TO BEACH
OR I WILL CLIMB UP EVERY MOUNTAIN PEAK

Felix:
I HAVE ROWED AND ROWED
UNTIL I’VE FOUND YOU HERE
I HAVE BEEN SEARCHING FOR YOU FOR YEARS AND YEARS

Emerson:
I’LL WALK ON BEDS OF NAILS OR BURNING COALS
I’LL EVEN FIGHT OFF DRAGONS, BEASTS AND TROLLS
I’LL CRAWL THROUGH DESERTS, JUNGLES, ARCTIC SNOW
I’LL TRAVEL ANYWHERE YOU WANT TO GO

Felix:
FOR MY WHOLE LIFE
NOW I CAN LEAVE THE SEA BEHIND
AND FIND MY WINGS FLY

Both:
WHY DON’T WE BUILD A SPACE SHIP, PIECE BY PIECE
SO WE CAN TAKE OFF ON AN ODYSSEY
AND WHEN WE REACH THE STARS THEN WE WILL SWING
ONTO A PASSING ANGEL,

Emerson:
WE’LL STEAL HIS WINGS

Emerson & Felix:
SO I CAN FLY TO YOU

Emerson:
PLEASE LET ME FLY…
