Heavy steps

And a late night feeling

I just can't let it go

People will never know what I'm thinking

Cigarettes and all the weekday drinking

Cover up what we lost

Now I don't know the cost of smiling no

I watch the strangers as they walk by

From twenty stories high

Reset my rhythm to the blue sky

Just know

It's got me walking a tightrope yeah

Hanging on every word you said

Can I fly and not fall instead

Living highwire days

Far away I can see the ground

Rushing down in a silent sound

Staring up at the soft white clouds

Living highwire days

Highwire days

Endless ways

And the road not taken

Though the dreaming is gone

I can still sing a song about feeling low

I watch the strangers as they ask why

I'm twenty stories high

Just a silhouette on a blue sky

Just know

It's got me walking a tightrope yeah

Hanging on every word you said

Can I fly and not fall instead

Living highwire days

Far away I can see the ground

Rushing down in a silent sound

Staring up at the soft white clouds

Living highwire days

Highwire days

Highwire days

Highwire days
