Afraid of Heights lyrics

• Copyright: Lucy Dacus, Julien Baker, Phoebe Bridgers

  ---

  I know that I fucked up when I
  Told you I'm afraid of heights
  It made you wanna test my courage
  You made me climb a cliff at night
  You wanted me to jump and I declined
  You called me a coward, I replied
  "I don't wanna live forever
  But I don't wanna die tonight"

  When the black water ate you up
  Like a sugar cube in a teacup
  I got the point you were makin'
  When I held my breath 'til you came up

  There's been a run of fires downtown
  On half-built construction sites
  I know you never liked a townhouse
  I've seen you climb a crane at night
  If they ever catch you at it
  I know you'd want me to be proud
  That you took a rich man's dream
  And brought it with you on your way down

  "'Cause one man's dream is another man's death"
  I remember when you told me that
  Didn't know what to say, so I just laughed
  But now I know it's not funny

  I never rode a motorcycle
  I've never smoked a cigarette
  I wanna live a vibrant life
  But I wanna die a boring death
  I know I was a disappointment
  Know you wanted me to take a risk
  Not everybody gets the chance to live
  A life that isn't dangerous

  You called me a crybaby
  But you're the one who got teary
  Tellin' me what you believe
  How we're stuck in entropy
  How it hurts to hope
  Oh, it hurts to hope for more
  Oh, it hurts to hope the future
  Will be better than before
