Walk the Wire

It was the strangest night The kind of scene I don't fit into It didn't feel so right And she came back 'round Drifting across my sight Some apparition of make believe I felt my chest grow tight And I tumbled in And she said, "Hey, baby, hold my hand out on the wire" Oh, I'm telling you the whole thing is just a breaking of desire You inevitably hold on, because you always do You gotta walk that wire Oh, I'm talkin' tongues, 'cause I'm not made of steel Somebody save me from myself I'm just a man alright? And I'm fumbling With all this fading light May be the moment to make my move You hold your breath so tight 'Cause we're tumbling And I said "Hey, baby, hold my hand out on the wire" I've been telling you the whole time, it's just a breaking of desire Now I promise to be brave too, because you've earned that right Gotta walk that wire There's something in the air, right? Keep you steady as you walk away And we're never gonna know, right? But it's better than the other way And I said, "Hey, baby, hold my hand out on the wire" See, I never would have held on, without the aching of desire Know there's heaven in a folk song, so just you hold on, because you're dancing on the wire Mm, alright
