Tightrope

I keep dreaming that I'm falling

There's no safety net

You look up with arms wide open

Then you smile and walk away

I guess that Freud would have an answer

He'd say that I was twisted and

Confused and just insane

Couldn't blame him!

I feel like lately all the things I took for granted

Flipped and changed

Now I'm losing grip again...

Oh Oh

I'm walking a tightrope

Between who I love and what I know

Oh Oh

I'm watching the sharks lick their lips

As they circle far below...

I'd slip my skin and lose this face

If we could find a secret place to hide

Say the words I need to hear and

I would leave it all behind

My psychic says she sees disaster

My heart is begging that I take a giant leap of faith

See are you really worth the risk

Of losing everything I have

For what might be one stupid kiss?

Oh Oh

I'm walking a tightrope

Between who I love and what I know

Oh Oh

I'm watching the sharks lick their lips

As they circle far below...

I don't know why it is that you won't say you love me

I don't know what it is

I keep slipping back to you

When you're not good for me

I keep wanting what I can't have

Mr. Freud would you disagree?

Oh Oh

I'm walking a tightrope

Between who I love and what I know

Oh Oh

I'm watching the sharks lick their lips

As they circle far below...

I don't know why it is that you won't say you love me

I don't know what it is but this tightrope's got me
