about

"Lately, I've found the concept of 'falling in love' antiquated and an outright romanticized delusion, as if that very moment is beyond our control and we have no choice but to allow some weird emotional gravity to have its way with our hearts," Grimm tells Wide Open Country. "More or less, I've come to understand that being in love is more about climbing a mountain... learning the ropes of who you are... and when your balance becomes rhythm then, you can finally climb with your own confidence... and as you are on your way up... you look over and there's another person climbing, and you think, 'I'd like to climb with that person... looks like they know what they're doing too... and maybe they have snacks.' The metaphor can go on and on... they know a better route to the top... you can watch each other's lines... 'Afraid of the Fall' is all about learning to balance... measure out your steps... you know it's worth it... just don't look down."

lyrics

it's a high wire act
getting to know you
I'm moving heel to toe
hoping I don't shake loose

I'm not afraid of the fall

with the lights in my eyes
I can't see my next move
there's a ways to go
only one way to lose

I'm not afraid of the fall
I'm not afraid of the fall

can you see me dear?
I'm looking for you
now the crowd is a blur
I'll be seeing you soon

I'm not afraid of the fall
it's a part of somebody's plan
I'm not afraid of the fall
I'm afraid of where I'll land

I'm not afraid of the fall
I'm not afraid of the fall
