I can't be everything that you want me to Fill my mind up with silly dreams is all I seem to do And people look like they're specks of dust when you're this high off the ground I'm doing my best not to let you down, so feet don't fail me now Cause I am walking the tightrope, I am walking it for you I am living on high hopes, now they're, now they're crashing through, so I hold my breath and close my eyes, I grab my heart when I realize I am walking the tightrope for you I'm fighting with gravity, trying not to fall But how come the ones we love can make us feel so small Oh, people look like they're specks of dust when you're this high off the ground But everyone's got a line to walk, we gotta keep from looking down, oh I am walking the tightrope, I am walking it for you I am living on high hopes, now they're, now they're crashing through, so I hold my breath and close my eyes, I grab my heart when I realize I am walking the tightrope for you Oh, the higher we go, the farther we fall Two hearts on the line and the winner takes all But nobody wins when it's all just a show I'm losing my grip, gonna slip, now it's time to let it go I am walking the tightrope, I am walking it for you I am living on high hopes, now they're, now they're crashing through, so I hold my breath and close my eyes, I grab my heart when I realize I am walking the tightrope for you, for you, for you Oh, I'm walking the tightrope Oh, I'm walking the tightrope I am walking the tightrope for you
