  • I love the feeling when we lift off
    Watching the world so small below
    I love the dreaming when I think of
    The safety in the clouds out my window
    I wonder what keeps us so high up
    Could there be a love beneath these wings?
    If we suddenly fall should I scream out
    Or keep very quite and cling to my mouth?

    As I'm crying, so frightened of dying
    "Relax", yes, I'm trying
    This fear's got a hold on me
    Yes, this fear's got a hold on me
    Yes, this fear's got a hold on me

    I love the quiet of the nighttime
    When the sun has drowned in a deathly sea
    I can feel my heart beating as I speed from
    The sense of time catching up with me
    The sky set out like a pathway
    But who decides which route we take?
    As people drift into a dream world
    I close my eyes as my hands shake

    And will I see a new day?
    Who's driving this anyway?
    I picture my own grave 'cause fear's got a hold on me
    Yes, this fear's got a hold on me
    Yes, this fear's got a hold on me
    Yes, this fear's got a hold on me
    Yes, this fear's got a hold on me

    Floating neither up or down
    I wonder, when I hit the ground
    Will the earth beneath my body shake
    And cast your sleeping hearts awake?
    Could it tremble stars from moonlit skies?
    Could it drag a tear from your cold eyes?
    I'll live on the right side and sleep on the left
    That's why everything's gotta be love or death

    Yes, this fear's got a hold on me
    Yes, this fear's got a hold on me
    Yes, this fear's got a hold on me
    Yes, this fear's got a hold on me
    Yes, this fear's got a hold on me
    Yes, this fear's got a hold on me
    Yes, this fear's got a hold on me
    Yes, this fear's got a hold on me Writer/s: Charles Cave, Harry McVeigh, Jack Lawrence-Brown
