Tightrope

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I've been staring at the world from a tightrope Worried sick, but I'm hanging on to high hopes And I'm swinging hard, always hoping that I strike gold But you walk by and it's like you've got your eyes closed [Pre-Chorus] And I don't mean to intrude But I'm dying to reach you [Chorus] So can I try to be somebody you could love? I don't know if I could ever measure up And you took my breath like water in my lungs But I would die to be somebody you could love (Oh, oh) [Verse 2] I never know just what to say so I keep shut It's like I'm always too afraid I'm gonna freeze up And if I try too hard then it's too much But if I don't start soon I'm gonna lose touch It's just the way you give me too much to choose from [Pre-Chorus] And I don't mean to intrude But I'm dying to reach you [Chorus] So can I try to be somebody you could love? I don't know if I could ever measure up But you took my breath like water in my lungs And I would die to be somebody you could love (Oh, oh, oh) (Oh, oh, oh) [Bridge] Don't remind me I could never be enough Stay beside me 'Cause I only want your love Don't remind me I could never be enough Stay beside me 'Cause I only want your love [Refrain] I've been staring at the world from a tightrope Worried sick, but I'm hanging on to high hopes [Chorus] So can I try to be somebody you could love? I don't know if I could ever measure up But you took my breath like water in my lungs And I would die to be somebody you could love (Oh, oh, oh) (Oh, oh, oh) Yeah, you took my breath like water in my lungs And I would die to be somebody you could love
