(Intro)
Held my breath at the edge of change
Waiting on a sign I never gave
(Verse 1)
I’ve been standing on the edge
Seconds stretch when I don’t move on
Every word stalls in my throat
Every step waits for a sign I won’t show
I feel the will but I hesitate
Hold my breath, let the moment wait
Gravity knows my name
And it’s calling me to stay
(Pre-Chorus)
Pressure builds in the space between
Who I was and who I ain’t
Every pause starts to resonate
Right before I levitate
(Chorus)
I LEVITATE WHEN I LET GO
WHEN I STEP OUT OF SHADOWS
EVERY PAUSE I LEFT TOO LATE
WAS THE WEIGHT THAT MADE ME BREAK
I LEVITATE WHEN I CHOOSE TO FEEL
WHEN THE FEAR DON’T STEER THE WHEEL
HELD MY BREATH, I’VE HAD TO WAIT
NOW I RISE — I DON’T HESITATE
(Breakdown)
I HELD MY BREATH
AT THE EDGE OF CHANGE
FROZE IN THE MOMENT
RIGHT BEFORE THE FLAME
NOT BROKEN—JUST NUMB
DIDN’T MEAN TO HESITATE!
LET IT BREAK
LET IT SHAKE
LET IT HURT—DON’T LOOK AWAY!!
THIS IS HOW I ESCAPE!!
I MET THE PAIN
I GAVE IT SPACE
(Pre-Chorus (Once – Post-Breakdown)
Pressure builds in the space between
Who I was and who I ain’t
Every pause starts to resonate
Right before I levitate
(Chorus)
I LEVITATE WHEN I LET GO
WHEN I STEP OUT OF SHADOWS
EVERY PAUSE I LEFT TOO LATE
WAS THE WEIGHT THAT MADE ME BREAK
I LEVITATE WHEN I CHOOSE TO FEEL
WHEN THE FEAR DON’T STEER THE WHEEL
HELD MY BREATH, I’VE HAD TO WAIT
NOW I RISE — I DON’T HESITATE
(Verse 2)
I learned how to live in the pause
Call it peace when it’s a loss
Every voice says “take your time”
But time’s the blade I keep inside
I see the air, I feel the lift
Still afraid of what I’ll miss
One more second, one more breath
Right before I choose myself
(Verse 1 (Reprise)
I was standing on the edge
Let the will begin my fate
What I feared began to fade
When I stopped delaying change
(Final Verse)
I learned the weight of standing still
How quiet fear can break your will
If I rise, it’s not escape
It’s letting go of what I fake
I don’t float to leave the ground
I lift because I’m finally sound
(Outro)(stripped back, intimate)
I stayed longer than I should
Waiting to feel understood
Now I breathe
Now I rise
I LEVITATE!!!
