Never want to fly Never want to leave Never want to say what you mean to me Never want to run Frightened to believe You're the best thing about me Sometimes I feel like this is only chemistry Stuck in a maze searching for a way to Shut down turn around feel the ground beneath me You're so close where do you end Where do I begin? Always pushing and pulling Sometimes vanity takes vacation time on me I'm in a daze stumbling bewildered North of gravity head up in the stratosphere You and I roller coaster riding love You're the center of adrenalin And I'm beginning to understand Never want to fly Never want to leave Never want to say what you mean to me Never want to run Frightened to believe You're the best thing about me Walk on broken glass make my way through fire These are things I would do for love Farewell peace of mind kiss goodbye to reason Up is down the impossible occurs each day This intoxication thrills me I only pray it doesn't kill me Never want to fly Never want to leave Never want to say what you mean to me Never want to run Frightened to believe You're the best thing about me You're the center of adrenalin And I'm beginning to understand You could be the best thing about me Never want to fly Never want to leave Never want to say what you mean to me Never want to run Frightened to believe You're the best thing about me What if you're the best thing about me
