  • You're scared of heights, that's vertigo
    You wanted lights, go see a show
    You ran away, that's touch and go
    You're scared of love, well, aren't we all?
    Well, aren't we all?
    Yeah, well, aren't we all?

    I know that you started to feel what I feel
    I could tell 'cause you took my hand by the wheel
    But you couldn't dare to make it real
    Oh, it's such a shame (you left it here)

    And I wasn't asking for a lifetime
    I was just asking you to take my hand
    Just for a minute or a night
    Was it too much to ask?

    You're scared of heights, that's vertigo
    You wanted lights, go see a show
    You ran away, that's touch and go
    You're scared of love, well, aren't we all?
    You felt alive, that's chemical
    You felt secure, that's called a home
    Couldn't take the heat, that's Mexico
    You're scared of love, well, aren't we all?
    Well, aren't we all?
    (Well, aren't we all?)

    I thought that I could be the one to change you
    I thought that I could be the one to prove
    I'm used to fixing broken things before
    I thought maybe I could fix you too

    I wasn't asking for a lifetime
    I was just asking you to take my hand
    For just a minute or a night
    Was it too much to ask?

    You're scared of heights, that's vertigo
    You wanted lights, go see a show
    You ran away, that's touch and go
    You're scared of love, well, aren't we all?
    You felt alive, that's chemical
    You felt secure, that's called a home
    Couldn't take the heat, that's Mexico
    You're scared of love, well, aren't we all?

    Said, "Don't look down" and then you do
    You put your past on me and you
    Think you got problems, I have too
    You ran from love, that's nothing new

    You're scared of heights, that's vertigo
    You wanted lights, go see a show
    You ran away, that's touch and go
    You're scared of love, well, aren't we all?
    Well, aren't we all? Yeah

    You're scared of heights, that's vertigo
    You wanted lights, go see a show
    You ran away, that's touch and go
    You're scared of love, well, aren't we all?
    Well, aren't we all? Writer/s: Samuel Sai Kwong Tsang, Sarah-Faith Griffiths
