Tightrope

AlphabetLyrics.com


Strong winds and my head's on fire
Walk another day across the high wire.

I'm on a tightrope, watch it as it swings
Like a countdown ticker on new year's eve.

We run the numbers spinning in the side
Counting all the reasons that we're broken and we lied
I'm on a tightrope, watching isn't easy
Heating up the metal, putting pressure on the springs.

All I want is for you to make me smile
All I want is for you to drive me wild.

Pretty candles on a birthday cake
Covered in confetti with the caffeine shakes
Fuck all the money, everything is trash
Papers in the glove box, light it up and pass
Flip on the tube, we watch it 'til we sleep
Ain't nothing but static and the panic and the feeling manic.

I'm on a tightrope, watch it as it swings
Like a countdown ticker on new year's eve.

And all I want is for you to make me smile
All I want is for you to drive me wild
All I want is for you to make me smile
All I want is for you to drive me wild
Wild.

All I want is for you to make me smile
All I want is for you to drive me wild.
