[Verse 1]
I just wanna stay in the sun where I find
I know it's hard sometimes
Pieces of peace in the sun's peace of mind
I know it's hard sometimes
Yeah, I think about the end just way too much
But it's fun to fantasize
All my enemies who wouldn't wish who I was
But it's fun to fantasize

[Chorus]
Oh, I'm falling so I'm taking my time on my ride
I'm falling so I'm taking my time on my ride, oh
Taking my time on my ride, oh

[Verse 2]
I'd die for you
That's easy to say
We have a list of people that we would take
A bullet for them
A bullet for you
A bullet for everybody in this room
But I don't seem to see many bullets coming through
See many bullets coming through
Metaphorically I'm the man
But literally I don't know what I'd do
I'd live for you
And that's hard to do
Even harder to say
When you know it's not true
Even harder to write
When you know that tonight
There are people back home which are talking to you
But then you ignore them still
All these questions they're for real like
Who would you live for?
Who would you die for?
And would you ever kill?

[Chorus]
Oh, I'm falling so I'm taking my time on my ride
I'm falling so I'm taking my time on my ride, oh
Taking my time on my ride, oh

[Bridge]
I've been thinking too much
I've been thinking too much
I've been thinking too much
I've been thinking too much
Help me
I've been thinking too much
I've been thinking too much
I've been thinking too much
I've been thinking

[Chorus]
Oh, I'm falling so I'm taking my time on my ride
I'm falling so I'm taking my time on my ride
I'm falling so I'm taking my time on my ride
I'm falling so I'm taking my time on my ride, oh
Taking my time on my ride
Oh, help me

twenty one pilots (also stylized as twenty øne piløts, TWENTY ØNE PILØTS, twenty | one | pilots, and TØP) consists of vocalist, pianist, bassist, and ukulele player Tyler Joseph and his best friend Josh Dun, who plays the drums and trumpet. The band’s genre is difficult to define, but best described as indie pop, with elements of rap, hip hop and rock. Fans have proclaimed their own music genre as “Schizoid Pop.”

The name twenty one pilots was inspired by the Arthur Miller play, All My Sons, a play about a man whose choice to send out faulty airplane parts for the good of his business and family caused the death of twenty-one pilots during World War II. The aspect of the play which influenced the band is the moral decisions and consequences that come with everyday decisions. Thus, the band fights the constant battle between man and mental illness.

Basically, we are all responsible for the preservation of our personal joy; but happiness is different. Joy is not circumstantial, happiness is.
