lyrics

700 Feet (BASE JUMPER) (5.36)
(McKella /McDonald)

I’m standing at the top.
At the top of this tall building
Parachute, Parachute on my back
Feel the wind cooling my sweat on my forehead
Looking down, looking for a place to land.

Chorus:
Look down you know it really ain’t that far to go
Look down you know it really ain’t that far.
Look down you know it realty an’t that far to go
Look down with 700 feet to go.

I’m looking down
Looking around at these city lights
Motor cars moving around like ants
One leap is all it really takes all it takes to go
I feel adrenaline start to flow.

Chorus:
Look down you know it really ain’t that far to go
Look down you know it really ain’t that far.
Look down you know it realty an’t that far to go
Look down with 700 feet to go.

I’m at the top
Standing at the top of this tall building
Parachute, Parachute on my back
Jump down at ten meters per second, per second fall
Cord rip, feel the strings haul me back.

Chorus:
Look down you know it really ain’t that far to go
Look down you know it really ain’t that far.
Look down you know it realty an’t that far to go
Look down with 700 feet to go.

Watch me fall.
Watch me fall.
Watch me fall.
Watch me fall.
