Tightrope

[Intro]
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

[Verse One]
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

[Verse Two]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse Three]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Bridge]
And in my fantasy
She is everything I need
But now I'm begging for some solid ground

[Chorus]
My mind is on a tightrope
Her lovin' never lets me down
My mind is on a tightrope
Her lovin' never lets me down
Her lovin' never lets me down
