Song Lyrics

I'm thinking about that feeling you get
When you miss the last step on the stairs with no lights on.
I'm thinking about that vertigo you experience
Right between wake and sleep,
When you jump into a blacked-out water slide
Not really knowing how deep.
I'm thinking about descending into an underground cave
With too much slack on my line,
Yet in the end I know I'm gonna turn out fine.
I'm thinking about a little bit of darkness.
I'm thinking about (yeah).

Falling down through the darkest night,
Down below so low.
Falling down falling (falling down).

Deep down the hole
Where the wicked go:
Down down down down.
So far down the darkness lies:
Down down down down.
Deep down the hole
Where the wicked go:
Down down down down.

On the stairs with no lights on,
When you miss the last step.
I'm thinking about that feeling you get.

Life our hearts,
Lift our souls up higher!
Take ourselves to the sky so high!
Life our minds and the spirits calling far and wide!
To the sky so high!

I'm thinking about stepping up to the edge of a cliff
And being swept off by a breeze that's too swift.
I'm thinking about counting to ten
when they put that gas mask over your head.
I'm thinking about that roller coaster
Climbing to the top of that hill,
And the drop to the end.
I'm thinking about that feeling you get
When you were five and you got thrown up in the air
So you could fly so high...

A little bit of darkness (a little bit!)
Oh my God – I don't even know where these words came from;
I just feel like I got filled up!
This is all coming from my heart - did you like that?
