Walk the Wire

Lyrics

[Verse 1] It was the strangest night The kind of scene I don't fit into It didn't feel so right And she came back 'round Drifting across my sight Some apparition of make believe I felt my chest grow tight And I tumbled in [Chorus 1] And she said, "Hey baby, hold my hand out on the wire" Oh, I'm telling you, the whole thing is just a breaking of desire You inevitably hold on, because you always do You gotta walk that wire [Verse 2] Oh, I'm talkin' in tongues, 'cause I'm not made of steel Somebody save me from myself I'm just a man, alright? And I'm fumbling With all this fading light May be the moment to make my move You hold your breath so tight 'Cause we're tumbling [Chorus 2] And I said, "Hey baby, hold my hand out on the wire" I've been telling you the whole time, it's just a breaking of desire Now, I promise to be brave too, because you've earned that right Gotta walk that wire [Bridge] There's something in the air, right? Keep you steady as you walk away And we're never gonna know why But it's better than the other way [Outro] And I said, "Hey baby, hold my hand out on the wire" See, I never would have held on, without the aching of desire Know there's heaven in a folk song, so just you hold on, because you're dancing on the wire Mm, alright...
