I've heard a thousand stories come off the wall,
Seen a thousand picture that say it all,
Looking for a reason to leave everything, everyone we know,
Leaving everything I know and everyone that would hold me down

[Chorus]
Don't shoot me on the way down
'Cause we've finally left the ground
Don't shoot me on the way down
We could find ourselves


Been a thousand places I've never known
While you're still trying to let go
Looking for a reason to leave everything, everyone we know
Leaving everything I know and everyone that would hold me down

[Chorus]
Don't shoot me on the way down
'Cause we've finally left the ground
Don't shoot me on the way down
We could find ourselves
Even though below cloud
We can see much better now
Don't shoot me on the way down
We could find ourselves

[Bridge]
All this time of trying even though I'm falling
But try again, don't let it bring me down
