  • Remember they said I was born wild
    I think I live on the outside
    Never been fixed with a slow high yet
    I'm always walking a thin line
    Running away from a low tide
    I know I'm better a high-wire kid

    Don't look down now
    I'm not done here yet
    Don't look down now
    I'm not done here yet

    Remember the wind on the badlands
    When I'm still running from loose hands
    Set myself up to become a man
    Who wasn't there for the backhand
    Getaway car in the quicksand
    I think you may never understand

    Don't look down now
    I'm not done here yet
    Don't look down now
    I'm not done here yet

    Running away from a fine line
    Run with me, we can still make it high
    Give me a vision, give me a dime

    Running away from a tame life
    Running away like a wild child
    Give me a vision, give me a dime (and give me more)

    Running away from a fine line
    Run with me, we can still make it high
    Give me a vision, give me a dime (and give me more)

    Running away from a tame life
    Running away like a wild child
    Give me a vision, give me a dime

    Don't look down now
    I'm not done here yet
    Don't look down now
    I'm not done here yet

    Remember they said I was born wild
    I think I live on the outside
    Never been fixed with a slow high yet
    I'm always walking a thin line
    Running away from the low tide
    I know I'm better a high-wire kid Writer/s: Aaron Dessner, Ben Lovett, Marcus Mumford, Ted Dwane
