    • Online uploads of the "Studio Version" [3]are usually given de facto titles like "Alternate Version" or "Alternative Version"; however, the file name titles it as "Air Catcher (Studio Version)".
    • The studio version was recorded after Twenty One Pilots and before Regional at Best.

    Lyrics

    Album version
    [Verse 1]

    I don't fall slow like I used to, I fall straight down

    You've stolen my air catcher that kept me safe and sound

    My parachutes would guide me safely to ground

    But now my chord's not workin' and I see you staring me down


    [Chorus]

    I won't fall in love with fallin'

    I will try to avoid those eyes, oh


    [Verse 2]

    I think you would beat the moon in a pretty contest

    And the moon just happened to be the very first thing that I missed

    I was doing fine on my own and there wasn't much I lacked

    But you've stolen my air catcher and I don't know if I want it back


    [Chorus]

    I won't fall in love with fallin'

    I will try to avoid those eyes

    'Cause I'm not sure I want to give you

    Tools that can destroy my heart


    [Bridge]

    And I just don't say what you wanna hear

    So I'll write my fears

    And I don't believe in talkin' just to breathe

    In fallin' selfishly


    [Outro]

    I won't fall in love with fallin'

    I will try to avoid those eyes

    But now I'm here to give you words as

    Tools that can destroy my heart


    Album version
    [Verse 1]

    [Chorus]

    I won't fall in love with fallin'

    I will try to avoid those eyes, oh


    [Verse 2]

    And the moon just happened to be the very first thing that I missed
