The Beautiful South - 10,000 Feet lyrics

The part of love that I'm scared of

is the actual taking off

I can take a bumpy landing

But the start must be soft

soft, soft, soft

It must be soft

Some men need your attention

every minute, every hour

Some women need the proof

in every chocolate, every flower

Are you asking me down your runway?

I'm asking you to be watchtower

tower, tower, tower

to be watchtower

tower, tower, tower

Some men just like the journey

don't care if it's incomplete

Some women like a long trip

Some women short 'n' sweet

But if we lift each other up

Let's make it 10,000 feet

feet, feet, feet

10,000 feet

feet, feet, feet

The reason I'm still down here

and I've never taken off

Is I never had the courage

To rummage through love's loft

loft, loft, loft

The highest loft

loft, loft, loft

Cos when we're finally up there

and the engines have been stopped

the landing won't be fatal

if love's parachute's been dropped

dropped, dropped, dropped

love's been dropped

dropped, dropped, dropp
