Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I keep dreaming
That I'm falling
There's no safety net
You look up with
Arms wide open
Then you smile and walk away
[Verse 2]
I guess that Freud would have an answer
He'd say that I was twisted and confused
And just insane
(Couldn't blame him)
I feel like lately all the things I took for granted
Flipped and changed
Now I'm losing grip again
[Verse 3]
Ooh ohhh
I'm walking the tightrope between who I love
And what I know
Ohh ohhh
I'm watching the sharks
Lick their lips as they circle
Far below
[Verse 4]
I'd slip my skin and lose this face
If we could find a secret place to hide
Say the words I need to hear and
I would leave it all behind
[Verse 5]
My psychic says she sees disaster
My heart is begging that I take a giant leap of faith
Ohh woah
See are you really worth the risk of losing everything I have
For what might be one stupid kiss?
[Verse 6]
Ohh ohhh
I'm walking the tightrope between who I love
And what I know
Ohh ohhh
I'm watching the sharks
Lick their lips as they circle
Far below
[Verse 7]
I don't know why it is that you won't say you love me
I don't know what it is
[Verse 8]
I keep slipping back to you
When you're no good for me
I keep wanting what I can't have
Mr. Freud would you disagree?
[Verse 9]
Ohh ohhh
I'm walking the tightrope between who I love
And what I know
Ohh ohhh
I'm watching the sharks
Lick their lips as they circle
Far below
[Verse 10]
Ohh ohhh
I'm walking the tightrope between who I love
And what I know
Ohh ohhh
I'm watching the sharks
Lick their lips as they circle
Far below
[Verse 11]
I don't know why it is
That you would say you love me
I don't know what it is
But this tightrope's got me
