Fear of Heights - Wye Oak

You

Want to take me up

I have always been

Afraid of heights

My body knows

When I am off the ground

Whether I, I’m looking up

Or looking down

And you say it’s worth it for the view

For the view

And you say it’s worth it for the view

For the view

Later on

I try to write it

Giving up

The meaning is too obvious

My consciousness

Attempts to classify

Like an animal cloud

In a meaningless sky

If I am the woman

You are the staircase

I am the woman

Fear is the window

I am the woman

Climbing is living

I am the woman

Fear is the window

If I am the woman

You are the staircase

I am the woman

Fear is the window

I am the woman

I am the woman

You say it’s worth it for the view

For the view (what or who is the view)

You say it’s worth it for the view

For the view (what or who is the view)

And you say it’s worth it for the view

For the view (what or who is the view, is the view)
