TRACK 10:
No Net Below


JONATHA'S NOTE:



This one just happened. I had purposely set out to create a song that would be the bookend - to balance "Back in the Circus" with a little reference to the trapeze and a little bit of ambiguous closure. Both Ryan and I were kind of weepy after this take. So we figured we must have gotten it right.

LYRICS: It's that I leap and then I look
At all the chances that I took
Feel the air, miss the catch
Then I have to swing back

My timing's all wrong
And the ladder is gone
And all I can do, is
Swing 'til it's all net below
All I can do, is
Swing 'til it's all net below
And I can let go

I am not faint of heart
But I get weak in the knees
I am tired for the world
For the wind in the trees

But we'll still find the song
Though the ladder is gone
It's all we can do, is
Swing 'til it's all net below
Swing 'til it's all net below
And we can let go

And I'll still look you in the eye
It's the longest goodbye
I'll feel the air, make the catch
But I won't swing back
My timing is clear
And I'll never fear

I'll swing 'til there's no net below
Yeah, I'll swing 'til there's no net below
