[Verse 1]
Like I always knew you would
The days just pass me by
Like a bird without a song
Skydiver with no sky
Ever since I was a boy
So anxious and misused
Never thought I'd see the sun
From quite this point of view

[Chorus]
So, all that I can be is what I've not quite been yet
Wasn't I to do without a perfect cue?
Reeling in the fear like I wasn't human
Am I supposed to breathe first or pull the shoes?
All that I can be is what I've not quite been yet
Wasn't I to do without a perfect cue?
Reeling in the fear like I wasn't human
Am I supposed to breathe first or pull the shoes?

[Post-Chorus]
Skydiver

[Verse 2]
Like a dream I never had
From a broken breath I drew
Never thought I could be free
Didn't want it to be true
Ever since I was a boy
So scared to be alive
Now I'm standing on the sun
Living just to die
