Venn Smyth - Tightrope Lyrics

There's a loneliness that you bring
And it sits and waits until you've left
And it hurts, and it stings
But I know the sun has set on this

Oh I, here I go again
Oh hi, hello old friend

There's a tenderness that I lack
I start and stall behind your back
And in this silent scream
I dream of how I will attack

Oh I, here I go again
Oh hi, hello old friend

Listen to me go
High low, high low, tightrope
Watching me go
High low, high low, let it go
Careless on this tightrope
Breathless, helpless, vertigo

But I must confess, I can't hide
I tap my toe upon the line
And it's shame, and it's pride
You caught my ego in its prime

Oh I, here I go again
Oh hi, hello old friend

Listen to me go
High low, high low, tightrope
Watching me go
High low, high low, let it go
Careless on this tightrope
Breathless, helpless, vertigo
Listen to me go
High low, high low, high low

I can't stop your world from falling
Even though I try
Feels like running, feels like crawling
What happens if we fly?

Listen to me go
High low, high low, tightrope
Watching me go
High low, high low, let it go
Careless on this tightrope
Breathless, helpless, vertigo
Listen to me go
High low, high low, high low
