Welcome me into your family
You try to show me the other side
Show me what I've been missing
You try to give me your life
I'm not trying to be the rebel
Just want my God-given right
If I'm gonna fuck up my own life
I'm gonna do it right

Sitting back for a moment
Thinking about a lifetime
Of being alone without you
Remember lying in your arms
One thousand feet off the ground
One thousand feet off the ground
The idea of jumping just never came up
