No, I can't say I've fallen for you yet

but, I've been walking right along the edge

and I know it sounds stupid, but I've been

thinking about just jumping right in,

just trusting you right from the beginning...

but, I ain't goin' nowhere without you holding my hand.

-

Oh, yes, I've seen you out here wandering

a little further out from the ledge;

I've seen you out here, thinking about it

after you dusted off a place for me to sit.

So, I've been sitting out here kicking my feet,

seeing how far my voice will carry,

singing songs til you come sit with me

and maybe we can talk about it,

cause I don't care where you've been

only where you plan on goin'.

-

No, I can't say I've fallen for you yet,

but I've been walking right along the edge.

Oh, yes, I have been testing the limits

and I know it sounds stupid, but I've been

thinking about just jumping right in,

just trusting you right from the beginning...

but I ain't goin' nowhere without you holding my hand.

-

Baby, you can take your time pondering.

Let me know when you're ready.

Would you look at this view?

It's never ending. Isn't it thrilling?

So many possibilities.

Baby, let me tell you, I am trembling

but I am ready

whenever you are.

-

No, I haven't fallen for you yet,

but I've been thinking about it.
