Highwire Days

[Verse 1]
Heavy steps and a late-night feeling
I just can't let it go
People will never know what I'm thinking
Cigarettes and all the weekday drinking
Cover up what we lost
Now I don't know the cost of smiling, no

[Pre-Chorus]
I watch the strangers as they walk by
From twenty stories high
Reset my rhythm to the blue sky, just know

[Chorus]
It's got me walking a tightrope, yeah
Hanging on every word you said
Can I fly and not fall instead?
Living highwire days
Far away, I can see the ground
Rushing down in a silent sound
Staring up at the soft white clouds
Living highwire days
Hmm, highwire days

[Verse 2]
Endless ways and the road not taken
Though the dreaming is gone
I can still sing a song about feeling low

[Pre-Chorus 2]
I watch the strangers as they ask why
I'm twenty stories high
Just a silhouette on a blue sky, just know

[Chorus]
It's got me walking a tightrope, yeah
Hanging on every word you said
Can I fly and not fall instead?
Living highwire days
Far away, I can see the ground
Rushing down in a silent sound
Staring up at the soft white clouds
Living highwire days
Hmm, highwire days

[Outro]
(Oh-ooh, ooh) Highwire days
(Oh-ooh, ooh) Highwire days
