Living in borrowed space, on borrowed time
Uneasy choices make this lot mine
I stand here for a dream, starving and lonely
And I don’t think that it’s as foolish as it seems to be

I may not have all your security
I may not have everything you think I need

But I am not trapped in a world made for me
I am here because here is where I want to be
I will make mistakes, I will be cut down
I’d rather be here even if it means free-falling

I have fought to learn the hard way
It’s the only path through this thick skull anyway
I think I’ve hit a wall, but it’s just a day
Among the many

I will not have all your security
I will not have everything you think I need

But I will not have my world defined for me
I am the only one who can say where I should be
I will make mistakes, I will be cut down
I’d rather be here even if it means free-falling

I can’t afford to wait for inspiration
I’ve got to try to make this happen
I know that you love me
I know that you will never see

I won’t be held back
I was for far too long
Now I am here and here is where I’ll be made strong
I need no convincing
I am the one driving
And I will make it
Oh, I will make it
And I will see you there, from the other side
I’d rather be there even if it means free-falling

I’m free-falling

I’m free-falling
