She's standing at the window, you're watching all the while
You're blinded by her beauty, you're taken with her style
You're taken with her style
Then you climb the shaky stairway, you don't care for heights and so
You feel a little dizzy, it seems like vertigo
It seems like vertigo
She's an acrobatic pilot, writing love songs in the sky
You're a little acrophobic, but you know that you can fly
You know you can fly
Should you try to keep your balance, or is it time to just let go
Is she the one for you, or is it only vertigo
Is it only vertigo
She takes you on her catwalk, you're too high to catch your breath
You slip and lose your footing, seeing only who you're with
You see only who your with
And then the earth spreads out above you, and the sky is hung below
And though it seems you're falling, it's only vertigo
No, don't be fooled, it isn't love, it's only vertigo
It's only vertigo
