Vertigo - Amy Speace

Watch — watch the sun go down, landing on the ground near the line of trees*

Where the shadowspill of light brings an early night, dark enough to see

We sit on the edge, behind the fence daring the gravity above

Am I falling to you, are you falling to me?

Every second there’s more than I can see

Are we losing control, is this vertigo?

We step out of bounds, on uneven ground, running away

My heart can’t hold the weight, the crash or the break, keeping this pace

The very first time — your skin against mine, you hold my hand so tightly

Am I falling to you, are you falling to me?

Every second there’s more than I can see, so don’t let me go in this vertigo

I want it all — I want it, I want it.

I want it more than I’ve ever wanted

I want it all — I want it, I want it.

I want it more than I’ve ever wanted

This is just like a play, the predictable stage we’re living on

And faith can’t tame the stars, those flickering scars that cover our bones

And we trip on our feet, we fumble our speech, we choose the ones we never reach

But I’m falling to you and you’re falling to me — every second there’s more

than we can see — I know I’m losing control, I wanna lose control,

don’t let me go in this vertigo
