Unless we cross the line?
How do we know who we are
Unless we cross the line?
When we were young and unafraid
We'd climb the highest wall we could find
When we were young and unafraid
We'd draw a line in the sand just to cross it
We'd fall just to feel alive
We knew we would be alright
I wanna fall just to feel alive
I feel like following me tonight[LEAD VOCALISTS]

We reach for what we love
And when we fall
We know first place doesn't matter at all
We're reaching higher
