Tightrope
I've been talking to myself
Every night since you left
Your name echoing down the hall
But there are matters of the heart
That I'll never possess by throwing the obvious ball
I'm intoxicated by your empty stare
Knowing full well that no good love comes from there
I could drown in your lies
If I get too close to the edge
But I won't ever let you pull me in
If I try to relieve it you won't break my fall
This tightrope stretched over you is my only way home
The splashes of joy that would have been heard
Aren't given the time to be told
So I'll strap myself in and be a caged bird
Waiting for your show to unfold
I'm intoxicated by your empty stare
Knowing full well that no good love comes from there
I could drown in your lies
If I get too close to the edge
But I won't ever let you pull me in
If I try to relieve it you won't break my fall
This tightrope stretched over you is my only way home
And I'm not going to settle down
So I might as well be brave
Drive full speed into fears until I reach that gate
And I'm not going to settle down so I might as well be strong
Withstand the sting of old impulses til they're gone
I could drown in your lies
If I get too close to the edge
But I won't ever let you pull me in
If I try to relieve it you won't break my fall
This tightrope stretched over you is my only way home
This tightrope stretched over you is my only way home
Every night since you left
Your name echoing down the hall
But there are matters of the heart
That I'll never possess by throwing the obvious ball
I'm intoxicated by your empty stare
Knowing full well that no good love comes from there
I could drown in your lies
If I get too close to the edge
But I won't ever let you pull me in
If I try to relieve it you won't break my fall
This tightrope stretched over you is my only way home
The splashes of joy that would have been heard
Aren't given the time to be told
So I'll strap myself in and be a caged bird
Waiting for your show to unfold
I'm intoxicated by your empty stare
Knowing full well that no good love comes from there
I could drown in your lies
If I get too close to the edge
But I won't ever let you pull me in
If I try to relieve it you won't break my fall
This tightrope stretched over you is my only way home
And I'm not going to settle down
So I might as well be brave
Drive full speed into fears until I reach that gate
And I'm not going to settle down so I might as well be strong
Withstand the sting of old impulses til they're gone
I could drown in your lies
If I get too close to the edge
But I won't ever let you pull me in
If I try to relieve it you won't break my fall
This tightrope stretched over you is my only way home
This tightrope stretched over you is my only way home
