Tightrope Songtext
von Illy

I was like, "What you want me to do?"
She was like, "What, you want me to choose?"
I was like, "Well I didn′t say that, but you know, help me help you"
I'm on that balance beam to keep you happy
Or say fuck it, stay mad at me
You know how that goes, drink, fight, patch things up in the back of a taxi
She can skate thin ice on wheels
And not once get wet
She could walk fine lines in heels
Not one foot out of step
And I swear, I′ll leave you swept
Off your feet, it's just I guess
I'm falling hard myself here
Yeah, over my head


It′s like I′m walking on a tightrope
And every step could be the one where I fall
It's like I′m running with a blindfold
And I could be wrong
But I don't know
I don′t know

Headed for the deep end
Thursday we fight and forget it by the weekend
Fast learner, I figured out quick
With her it's not the gettin′, it's the keepin'
Cause she′s a gem
So everyone wants her shinin′ with them
Gettin' my bulldog on bro, mind your step
Keep it on your side of the fence
I play my demo′s, one last once
Smile if she likes it, laugh if it sucks
Cold blooded, she the first in my corner
But now, what's that if it ain′t called love?
When it's all said and done
Baby ain′t happy till my heads spun
So I might get lucky, I might get none
Like I'm right back at square one


It's like I′m walking on a tightrope
And every step could be the one where I fall
It′s like I'm running with a blindfold
And I can′t help but feel that I'm about to lose control
It′s like I'm walking on a tightrope
Running with a blindfold
Rolling with my eyes closed
It′s like I'm walking on a tightrope
And I could be wrong
But I don't know
I don′t know

It′s like I'm walking on a tightrope
And every step could be the one where I fall
It′s like I'm running with a blindfold
And I can′t help but feel that I'm about to lose control
It′s like I'm walking on a tightrope
Running with a blindfold
Rolling with my eyes closed
It's like I′m walking on a tightrope
And I could be wrong
I could be wrong

It′s like I'm walking on a tightrope
And every step could be the one where I fall
It′s like I'm running with a blindfold
And I can′t help but feel that I'm about to lose control
It′s like I'm walking on a tightrope
Running with a blindfold
Rolling with my eyes closed
It's like I′m walking on a tightrope
And I could be wrong
But I don′t know
I don't know
