Written winter of 2010 with the help of Jake Bissett and Alextré Watson. This was the first song written for Polaris Amour.

lyrics

Tucked away, behind these ribs
Is a sinking feeling
That I'm drowning now, within you
And everything you do
I tried my best to keep composure,
To think it over
But you called me and you called it love
And now we're crying out:

Mayday, Mayday
I'm not falling from this skyline
Just for nothing, for nothing
I'd fall for you
Another thirty thousand feet
Just to see you smile before I hit the ground

Short of breath, and drowning into you
Fill my casket with the scent
Of your perfume, barely buried
But I'll always wait for...
The blood rushes into my veins
It's whispering,
Don't save me, Don't save me
And now we're crying:

Mayday, Mayday
I'm not falling from this skyline
Just for nothing, for nothing
I'd fall for you
Another thirty thousand feet
Just to see you smile before I hit the ground

I've never been a dreamer,
But I often like to think that I'm
More than just another night
Lining all the places you sleep
Your words, they form lines
and they pull me down,
I hope to god, these feet
Don't ever touch the ground

Now we are crying out:

Mayday, Mayday
I'm not falling from this skyline
Just for nothing, for nothing
I'd fall for you
Another thirty thousand feet
Just to see you smile before I hit the ground

I'd fall for you
Another thirty thousand feet
Just to see you smile before I hit the groung
