Tightrope

I was like, what you want me to do?

She was like, what you want me to choose?

I was like, well I didn't say that, but you know

Help me help you

I'm on that balance beam to keep you happy

Or say fuck it, stay mad at me

Know how that goes, drink, fight, patch things up in the back of a taxi

She can skate thin ice on wheels, and not once get wet

She could walk five miles in heels, not one foot out of step

And I swear I'll leave you swept, off your feet, it's just our guess

I'm falling hard myself here, yeah, over my head

It's like I'm walking on a tightrope

And every step could be the one where I fall

It's like I'm running with a blindfold

And I could be wrong, but I don't know, I don't know

Headed for the deep end

Thursday we fight and forget it by the weekend

Fast learner, I figured out quick

With her it's not the getting, it's the keeping

'Cause she's a gem, so everyone wants her shining with them

Getting my bulldog on

Bro, mind your step, keep it on your side of the fence

I play my demos one last once

Smile if she likes it, laugh if it sucks

Cold blooded, she the first in my corner

But now, what's that if it ain't called love

When it's all said and done, baby ain't happy until my heads spun

So I might get lucky

I might get none

Like I'm right back at square one

It's like I'm walking on a tightrope

And every step could be the one where I fall

It's like I'm running with a blindfold

And I can't help but feel that I'm about to lose control

It's like I'm walking on a tightrope, running with a blindfold

Rolling with my eyes closed, whoa

It's like I'm walking on a tightrope

And I could be wrong

But I don't know, I don't know

It's like I'm walking on a tightrope

And every step could be the one where I fall

It's like I'm running with a blindfold

And I can't help but feel that I'm about to lose control

It's like I'm walking on a tightrope, running with a blindfold

Falling with my eyes closed

It's like I'm walking on a tightrope

And I could be wrong, and I could be wrong

It's like I'm walking on a tightrope

And every step could be the one where I fall

It's like I'm running with a blindfold

And I can't help but feel that I'm about to lose control

It's like I'm walking on a tightrope, running with a blindfold

Falling with my eyes closed, whoa

It's like I'm walking on a tightrope, and I could be wrong

But I don't know, I don't know
