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 her 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 weekends

I'm still half asleep

From week out and week in

At least I'm never lonely

A stone for my shoulder

Cold matrimony

I wish that could read her mind

The tension in the storyline

I won't make the walk this blind

My mind is on a tightrope

Her loving 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 loving never lets me down

Her loving 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 loving 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 loving never lets me down

Her loving 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 loving never lets me down

My mind is on a tightrope

Her loving never lets me down

Her loving never lets me down
