Highwire

You took your time, the well ran dry
And now your garden is full of flowers you can't save
And all your friends, award winners
Found all the ways to sell you that they care

So turn me upside down, shake me out
My pockets full of things that I can't change
Weighted down
Love, I told you once, I'll tell you twice
Everything you feel for me, in time, will fade

So I'm on a highwire
And I've got my eyes closed
Now I'm in a free fall
And everything is simple

So one by one, your dreams and hopes
Like dominos, come crashing to the floor
They didn't teach you this, the panic switch
The chance you missed, it shook you to your core

She left a crystal heart at my place
I've got the weight of the world as a paperweight
She's slipping away
Now I'm on my own like a lonely wolf
And the world outside is an inside joke
I'm laughing it off

So I'm on a highwire
And I've got my eyes closed
Now I'm in a free fall
And everything is simple

So I'm on a highwire
And I've got my eyes closed
Now I'm in a free fall
And everything is simple
