Lyrics
Tightrope
It?s a fine line, a fine line, baby it?s a fine line, a fine line, baby it?s a fine line between what I am and what you think of me
There?s a lifetime, a lifetime, baby there?s a lifetime, a lifetime, baby there?s a lifetime to find out what I?m gonna be
Cause it?s not over yet and I?m starting to get up on my feet again with some help from my friends cause I fell and you weren?t there I feel and you aren?t there to save me again
And I?m just waking up and I know that it?s tough when you don?t have a net but I?m not gonna let this rope drag me down, or push me around in a cycle of rotting in my indecision
it?s a fine line, a fine line, baby it?s a fine line, a fine line, baby it?s a fine line between what I am and what you think of me
There?s a lifetime, a lifetime, baby there?s a lifetime, a lifetime, baby there?s a lifetime to find out what I?m gonna be
cause I?m a mark on a page just a sign to be named in this book of your life as I?m walking up high and I?m trying to fly so I?m saying goodbye cause it?s better than being it?s better than being
just stuck on the ground but wait then I found that I?m fixed up here too, and I don?t have you, and I wish I could fall yeah I wished I could fall into wherever you are into your open arms
and it?s a fine line a fine line baby it?s a fine line a fine line, baby it?s a fine line between what I am and what you think of me
and there?s a lifetime, a lifetime, baby there?s a lifetime, a lifetime, baby there?s a lifetime a lifetime of trying to be free
cause I?m a balancing act, just waving my hat, on this tightrope of time, my life on the line, and I won?t fall below and I want you to know that I?m just fine
and the lights shining bright on me, legs shaking under me, feels like a thousand people watching for my feet to slip and fall and I?m nervous and smiling and laughing and singing this song and you?re humming
It?s a fine line a fine line baby it?s a fine line a fine line baby it?s a fine line between what I am and what you think of me
And there?s a lifetime, a lifetime, baby there?s a lifetime, a lifetime, baby there?s a lifetime to make a history
And it?s a white lie a white lie baby it?s a white lie a white lie baby it?s a white lie that it?s not up to me
And it?s a fine line between what I am and it?s a fine line between what I want and it?s a fine line between looking down and taking a step
And there?s a lifetime a lifetime of falling there?s a lifetime a lifetime of walking there?s a lifetime of climbing back on
