Tightrope

I stand so far From the things I said I wanted I can only see the stars From the rooftop to the cars They look a million miles away Still can't decide If I fall is it a favor? Let the wind dry out my eyes I can walk or I can fly Like I'm a million miles high She knows my favorite ice creams She takes my advice, skips through the fight scenes But I'm still on the short leash I hate when she tugs and shrugs at my "No, please" I wish that I could say it loud But I could never be so proud The rain won't ever leave this cloud I cave in on the weekеnds I'm still half asleep from week out and week in At least I'm never lonеly A stone for my shoulder, cold matrimony I wish that I could read her mind The tension in the storyline I won't make the walk this blind My mind is on a tightrope Her lovin' never lets me down I'm shaking in the rainstorm Pray feet don't you fail me now My mind is on a tightrope Her lovin' never lets me down Her lovin' never lets me down It started under moonshine Drink 'till we head to bed, never too shy But then I met the dark shade Well nice to meet you, you've come a long way I'm standing 'till the wind dies out So I could let my arms back down And run 'till I can't be found My mind is on a tightrope Her lovin' never lets me down I'm shaking in the rainstorm Pray feet don't you fail me now My mind is on a tightrope Her lovin' never lets me down Her lovin' never lets me down And in my fantasy She is everything I need But now I'm begging for some solid ground My mind is on a tightrope Her lovin' never lets me down My mind is on a tightrope Her lovin' never lets me down
