Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Some people long for a life
That is simple and planned
Tied with a ribbon
Some people won't sail the sea
'Cause they're safer on land
To follow what's written
But I'd follow you to the great unknown
Off to a world we call our own
[Verse 2]
Hand in my hand
And we promised to never let go
We're walking a tightrope
High in the sky
We can see the whole world down below
We're walking a tightrope
Never sure, never know how far we could fall
But it's all an adventure
That comes with a breathtaking view
Walking a tightrope
[Verse 3]
With you, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
[Verse 4]
Mountains and valleys
And all that will come in between
Desert and ocean
You pulled me in
And together, we're lost in a dream
Always in motion
So I risk it all just to be with you
And I risk it all for this life we choose
[Verse 5]
Hand in my hand
And you promised to never let go
We're walking a tightrope
High in the sky
We can see the whole world down below
We're walking a tightrope
Never sure, will you catch me if I should fall?
[Verse 6]
Well, it's all an adventure
That comes with a breathtaking view
Walking a tightrope
[Verse 7]
With you, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
