"Man On A Wire"
Who'd have thought that I'd be here by myself?
Who'd have thought that you'd be bad for my health?
Now I know, now I know I'm just a man on a wire
Who'd have thought about the cause and effect?
Yesterday's love is not tomorrow's regret
Now I know, now I know I'm just a man on a wire
No, I can't look down
I'm trying to fight the feeling
I will fall to the ground
If I ever see you
'Cause I feel like I'm walkin' on a tightrope
My heart is in my throat
I'm counting on high hopes to get me over you
And I've got my eyes closed
As long as the wind blows
I'm counting on high hopes to get me over you, you
'Cause I'm a man on a wire, on a wire
I'm a man on a wire, on a wire
Who'd have thought I'd see you with someone else?
Who'd have thought that I'd be in such a mess?
Now you know, now you know I'm just a man on a wire
But I walk that line
I try to keep my senses
Make it to the other side
I know the consequences
and I feel like I'm walkin' on a tightrope
My heart is in my throat
I'm counting on high hopes to get me over you
And I've got my eyes closed
As long as the wind blows
I'm counting on high hopes to get me over you, you
'Cause I'm a man on a wire, on a wire
I'm a man on a wire, on a wire
'Cause I'm a man on a wire, on a wire
'Cause I'm a man on a wire, on a wire
The higher I get
The more I miss the ground
No safety nets
Now you're not around
I have to keep walking
To keep me from falling down
Feels like I'm walkin' on a tightrope
My heart is in my throat
I'm counting on high hopes to get me over you
And I've got my eyes closed
As long as the wind blows
I'm counting on high hopes to get me over you, you
'Cause I'm a man on a wire, on a wire
I'm a man on a wire, on a wire
'Cause I'm a man on a wire, on a wire
'Cause I'm a man on a wire, on a wire
Who'd have thought that you'd be bad for my health?
Now I know, now I know I'm just a man on a wire
Who'd have thought about the cause and effect?
Yesterday's love is not tomorrow's regret
Now I know, now I know I'm just a man on a wire
No, I can't look down
I'm trying to fight the feeling
I will fall to the ground
If I ever see you
'Cause I feel like I'm walkin' on a tightrope
My heart is in my throat
I'm counting on high hopes to get me over you
And I've got my eyes closed
As long as the wind blows
I'm counting on high hopes to get me over you, you
'Cause I'm a man on a wire, on a wire
I'm a man on a wire, on a wire
Who'd have thought I'd see you with someone else?
Who'd have thought that I'd be in such a mess?
Now you know, now you know I'm just a man on a wire
But I walk that line
I try to keep my senses
Make it to the other side
I know the consequences
and I feel like I'm walkin' on a tightrope
My heart is in my throat
I'm counting on high hopes to get me over you
And I've got my eyes closed
As long as the wind blows
I'm counting on high hopes to get me over you, you
'Cause I'm a man on a wire, on a wire
I'm a man on a wire, on a wire
'Cause I'm a man on a wire, on a wire
'Cause I'm a man on a wire, on a wire
The higher I get
The more I miss the ground
No safety nets
Now you're not around
I have to keep walking
To keep me from falling down
Feels like I'm walkin' on a tightrope
My heart is in my throat
I'm counting on high hopes to get me over you
And I've got my eyes closed
As long as the wind blows
I'm counting on high hopes to get me over you, you
'Cause I'm a man on a wire, on a wire
I'm a man on a wire, on a wire
'Cause I'm a man on a wire, on a wire
'Cause I'm a man on a wire, on a wire
