Coming down to the wire
And I can't get any higher
Try to dance through the fire,
But I feel like a liar
And I've been doing the best that I can,
I would call but you wont understand
And if it's power that measures a man,
I'd be damned if I'd offer my hand
Coming down to the wire
Coming down to the wire
Hmm, hmm
Hmm, hmm
Gotta keep your head down,
Fade into the background
Looking for a way out,
Been running since I knew how
When did it get so loud?
I wish it all would slow down
Feeling like I missed out,
Driving past the old house
If I could fix it all with both of my hands
I'd take it all back, I'd make other plans
I tried to re-write but none of us can
So we sing along until we can't stand
Coming down to the wire
And I can't get any higher
Try to dance through the fire,
But I feel like a liar
And I've been doing the best that I can,
I would call but you wont understand
And if it's power that measures a man,
I'd be damned if I'd offer my hand
Coming down to the wire
Coming down to the wire
Hmm, hmm
Hmm, hmm
Suns about to go down,
Looking for a lighthouse
But when I open my mouth,
Nothing seems to come out
If I could fix it all with both of my hands
I'd take it all back, I'd make other plans
I tried to re-write but none of us can
So we sing along until we can't stand
Coming down to the wire
And I can't get any higher
I try to dance through the fire,
But I feel like a liar
And I've been doing the best that I can,
I would call but you wont understand
And if it's power that measures a man,
I'd be damned if I'd offer my hand
Coming down to the wire
Coming down to the wire
Hmm, hmm
Hmm, hmm
