Highwire

Lyrics

You took your time, the well ran dry And now your garden is full of flowers you can't save And all your friends, award winners Found all the ways to sell you that they care So turn me upside down, shake me out My pockets full of things that I can't change Weighted down Love, I told you once, I'll tell you twice Everything you feel for me, in time, will fade So I'm on a highwire And I've got my eyes closed Now I'm in a free fall And everything is simple So one by one, your dreams and hopes Like dominos, come crashing to the floor They didn't teach you this, the panic switch The chance you missed, it shook you to your core She left a crystal heart at my place I've got the weight of the world as a paperweight She's slipping away Now I'm on my own like a lonely wolf And the world outside is an inside joke I'm laughing it off So I'm on a highwire And I've got my eyes closed Now I'm in a free fall And everything is simple So I'm on a highwire And I've got my eyes closed Now I'm in a free fall And everything is simple
