Tightrope Songtext
von Paper Idol

I stand so far
From the things I said I wanted
I can only see the stars
From the rooftop to the cars
They look a million miles away

Still can′t decide
If I fall is it a favor?
Let the wind dry out my eyes
I can walk or I can fly
Like I'm a million miles high

She knows my favorite ice creams
She takes my advice, skips through the fight scenes
But I′m still on the short leash
I hate when she tugs and shrugs at my "No, please"

I wish that I could say it loud
But I could never be so proud
The rain won't ever leave this cloud


I cave in on the weekеnds
I'm still half asleep from week out and week in
At least I′m never lonеly
A stone for my shoulder, cold matrimony

I wish that I could read her mind
The tension in the storyline
I won′t make the walk this blind

My mind is on a tightrope
Her lovin' never lets me down
I′m shaking in the rainstorm
Pray feet don't you fail me now

My mind is on a tightrope
Her lovin′ never lets me down
Her lovin' never lets me down

It started under moonshine
Drink ′till we head to bed, never too shy
But then I met the dark shade
Well nice to meet you, you've come a long way

I'm standing ′till the wind dies out
So I could let my arms back down
And run ′till I can't be found


My mind is on a tightrope
Her lovin′ never lets me down
I'm shaking in the rainstorm
Pray feet don′t you fail me now

My mind is on a tightrope
Her lovin' never lets me down
Her lovin′ never lets me down

And in my fantasy
She is everything I need
But now I'm begging for some solid ground

My mind is on a tightrope
Her lovin' never lets me down
My mind is on a tightrope
Her lovin′ never lets me down
