Tightrope

I've been staring at the world from a tightrope Worried sick but I'm hanging on to high hopes And I'm swinging hard, always hoping that I strike gold But you walk by and it's like you've got your eyes closed And I don't mean to intrude But I'm dying to reach you So can I try to be somebody you could love? I don't know if I could ever measure up And you took my breath like water in my lungs But I would die to be somebody you could love Oh I never know just what to say, so I keep shut It's like I'm always too afraid I'm gonna freeze up And if I try too hard, then it's too much But if I don't start soon, I'm gonna lose touch It's just the way you give me too much to choose from And I don't mean to intrude But I'm dying to reach you So can I try to be somebody you could love? I don't know if I could ever measure up But you took my breath like water in my lungs And I would die to be somebody you could love Oh Oh Don't remind me I could never be enough Stay beside me 'cause I only want your love Don't remind me I could never be enough Stay beside me 'cause I only want your love I've been staring at the world from a tightrope Worried sick but I'm hanging on to high hopes So can I try to be somebody you could love? I don't know if I could ever measure up But you took my breath like water in my lungs And I would die to be somebody you could love Oh Oh Yeah, you took my breath like water in my lungs And I would die to be somebody you could love
