Tightrope - Illy

I was like what you want me to do?

She was like «what you want me to choose?»

I was like well I didn’t say that, but you know

Help me help you

I’m on the balance beam to keep you happy

Or say fuck it, stay mad at me

Know how that goes, drink, fight, patch things up in the back of a taxi

She can skate thin ice on wheels and not once get wet

She could walk fine lines in heels, not one foot out of step

And I swear I’ll leave you swept, off your feet it’s just I guess

I’m falling hard myself here, yeah over my head

Yeah, it’s like I’m walking on a tightrope

And every step could be the one where I fall

It’s like I’m running with a blindfold

And I could be wrong but I don’t know, I don’t know

Headed for the deep end

Thursday we fight and forget it by the weekend

Fast learner, I figured out quick

With her it’s not the getting it’s the keeping

Cause she’s a gem

So everyone wants her shinning with them

Gettin' my bulldog on bro

Mind your step, keep it on your side of the fence

I play my demo’s (one last one)

Smile if she likes it, (laugh if it sucks)

Cold blooded, she the first in my corner

But now, what’s that if it ain’t called love

When it’s all said and done

Baby ain’t happy till my head’s spun

So I might get lucky, I might get none

Like I’m right back at square one

It’s like I’m walking on a tightrope

And every step could be the one where I fall

It’s like I’m running with a blindfold

And I can’t help but feel that I’m about to lose control

It’s like I’m walking on a tightrope, running with a blindfold

Rolling with my eyes closed, Woah!

It’s like I’m walking on a tightrope, and I could be wrong

But I don’t know, I don’t know

It’s like I’m walking on a tightrope

And every step could be the one where I fall

It’s like I’m running with a blindfold

And I can’t help but feel that I’m about to lose control

It’s like I’m walking on a tightrope, running with a blindfold

Rolling with my eyes closed

It’s like I’m walking on a tightrope

And I could be wrong, and I could be wrong

It’s like I’m walking on a tightrope

And every step could be the one where I fall

It’s like I’m running with a blindfold

And I can’t help but feel that I’m about to lose control

It’s like I’m walking on a tightrope, running with a blindfold

Rolling with my eyes closed, Woah!

It’s like I’m walking on a tightrope, and I could be wrong

But I don’t know, I don’t know
