  • I'm on the tightrope
    You've got your reasons
    When did it get so hard to breathe?
    Hide in the spotlight, I'm feelin' so tired
    Your hands are burnt from holdin' me
    And maybe you and I will fall in time
    Eventually
    Maybe we'll both die trying, but I can't bring
    Myself to leave
    'Cause I've looked

    And I ain't seen nothin' like you
    The way you light up every room tonight
    So easily
    And I have moved mountains, babe
    Just to stumble and to long a grace and I
    I still can't compete

    You're on the tightrope
    I've got my reasons
    How did we get so tangled?
    You turn, I stay straight
    I bend as you break
    We're so messed up but I know
    That you and I will fall in time, eventually
    Or maybe we'll both die trying

    'Cause I ain't seen nothin' like you
    The way you light up every room tonight
    So easily
    And I have moved mountains, babe
    Just to stumble and to long a grace and I
    I still can't compete

    Oh, oh, hmm
    Oh, oh, oh, hmm

    Oh you and I will fall in time eventually
    Or maybe we'll both die trying

    'Cause I ain't seen nothin' like you
    The way you light up every room tonight
    So easily
    And I have moved mountains, babe
    Just to stumble and to long a grace and I
    I still can't compete Writer/s: GREGORY ALLAN N KURSTIN, THOMAS MARK HARMER NICHOLS
