One Small Step Parachute

Oh this is one small step I know
But it's the last time I'll ever see you're face
I'll go out on a limb and we'll hope it won't break
It's just five words

I'm figuring out just what I need to say
I'm writing it down and I'm getting it straight
It's a double edge sword. It's a very first date
It can go both ways

What I had was tried and true
But all I want is you

So I'm trying hard not to fight it
Light this fire and stand right beside it
If I go down at least I'll go in flames
And I'll sing it out at the top of my lungs
The choir is small but it sings a big song
And if I go down at least you know my name

Oh this is one big step I'm sure
It might not mean much but I can't do much better
I never thought it'd be so hard
To say hello

I caught a glimpse and I never looked back
I'll throw out the rope and we'll cut out the slack
We're keeping things tight and keeping things on track
It's just five words
