Fall Forward

Verse

I've stood at the edge of maybe

Where silence feels like grace

I've watched the words I wanted

Drift off into empty space

You smiled like you meant something

But I never dared to ask

Now I'm tired of waiting

For courage to come at last

Chorus

I'd rather fall forward than fade in place

Than vanish slow without a trace

If love's a risk, then let it be

A stumble toward what sets me free

I'd rather fall forward than fade in place

I'd rather fall forward, I'd rather fall forward

I'd rather fall forward than fade in place

Verse

I've written lines left unspoken

Just folded them away

I've danced with doubt and second-guessed

Each chance that came my way

But your eyes still hold a question

And my heart begins to race

So I'll take one step toward you

And leave behind this trace

Bridge

So if I trip, or even if I break

I'll know I moved for my own sake

The stillness hurts more than the fall

Whatever happens, I'm in it all

I'd rather fall forward than fade in place

Chorus

I'd rather fall forward than fade in place

Than vanish slow without a trace

If love's a risk, then let it be

A stumble toward what sets me free

I'd rather fall forward than fade in place

I'd rather fall forward, I'd rather fall forward

I'd rather fall forward than fade in place
