Tightrope |
If I know you’re going |
And if I know you’re gone |
Should I pretend you’re not? |
Our love is gravity and water |
Seeping through the roof |
And pooling in the garage |
Waiting out the thaw to patch up all the cracks |
Ripping out the walls while it’s dripping down your back |
There’s a couple ways this works and a thousand ways it can’t |
You know I know all about that bag you got packed |
I’ve been climbing up every power line |
If I’m guessing where you’ve been |
I haven’t felt your love in the longest time; |
I just want to see us from above again |
Tightrope walker strung a wire over the infield of the racetrack |
It’s ripe for disaster, the wind’s picking up |
And gets amplified by all of the gasps |
They thing you’re gonna fall, and your mother’s taking bets |
I want to make love to you underneath the nets |
And our oil-slick skin can hold a thousand sunsets |
Drift away in my version of the summer we got left |
