Afraid of Heights

I know that I fucked up when I Told you I'm afraid of heights It made you wanna test my courage You made me climb a cliff at night You wanted me to jump and I declined You called me a coward, I replied "I don't wanna live forever But I don't wanna die tonight" When the black water ate you up Like a sugar cube in a teacup I got the point you were makin' When I held my breath 'til you came up There's been a run of fires downtown On half-built construction sites I know you never liked a townhouse I've seen you climb a crane at night If they ever catch you at it I know you'd want me to be proud That you took a rich man's dream And brought it with you on your way down "'Cause one man's dream is another man's death" I remember when you told me that Didn't know what to say, so I just laughed But now I know it's not funny I never rode a motorcycle I never smoked a cigarette I wanna live a vibrant life But I wanna die a boring death I know I was a disappointment Know you wanted me to take a risk Not everybody gets the chance to live A life that isn't dangerous You called me a crybaby But you're the one who got teary Tellin' me what you believe How we're stuck in entropy How it hurts to hope, oh, it hurts to hope for more Oh, it hurts to hope the future will be better than before
