about: This is an overly-adult-contemporary-styled demo of a song that will probably end up in our autobiographical concert-with-a-story, "Wheelhouse." The demo is rough, and recorded this way in the hopes that it might lead to somebody covering it through our publishing deal--but our eventual version will be considerably more acoustic and less, I dunno, "smooth jazz." In any case, we like the song, and we hope you do, too.
lyrics: how could I think of crossing the chasm
the vast expanse between me and you
I had my fears like everyone has 'em
as years went by the larger they grew
tied me up and tied me down
to my old familiar ground
still and static, safe and sound - but I found

If you leap - heaven knows just where you're going to land
If you leap - chances are it won't turn out like you planned
But if you don't if you won't you might always wish you had
and when you walked by, well I can't deny that I found that I just had to leap for you

I don't repair what hasn't been broken
I never question my status quo (oh no)
I used to leave my feelings unspoken
I'd just relax and go with the flow

but there you were, the turning tide
to rock my boat and toss aside
all my charts, all my plans
and all my pride

If you leap - heaven knows just where you're going to land
Dive in deep - you could drown or you could wash up on the sand
But if you don't if you won't you might always wish you had
and when you walked by, well I can't deny that I found that I just had to leap for you

I think it's safer not to climb too high
I get all dizzy looking down
I will admit that I'm afraid to fly
'cause I got no wings
and I've never tried
and these butterflies
flit around inside
but when I saw you
then the great divide
didn't seem so wide
and my feet just left the ground

I'll always be a little bit cautious
I'll always stop to look left & right
too much excitement makes me feel nauseous
but when you're with me then I just might
be okay,
now I see
how you make me
feel so free
even with
no guarantee
of what will be

If you leap - heaven knows just where you're going to land
If you leap - chances are it won't turn out like you planned
But if you don't if you won't you might always wish you had
but something about you made me leap
look in your eyes could make me weep
something about you made me leap
for you
