Tightrope

I'd grown accustomed to the touching The stares and the umbrellas That you held atop my hairs When the subtle rain befell us The acrobat safely steps Above the safety net Faced the lengthy stretch And didn't even seem to sweat the place of the net Whether he taste the grace of the final place Or face the hated misstep He trusts the heart string net Will always be there dressed to catch I make mistakes like the next but I never make regrets I'm not upset I climbed those steps and tried and tried to cross that thing I don't blame you or anyone when we cut strings But I don't look forward to interviewing the new applying sets of arms That will catch me and protect me from the potential bodily harm Catch me and protect me with their wit and charm So I raise the sacred bar and take a charge across that bloody cable Audience applause will let me cross and Take a step into my quest and try to hold my body stable Take a guess at future's next and wonder when I fall in And who's the next to come along and try and save you I'm game to Talking and maintaining the friendship But I know that will never fit because it will always be second best Mothers cover their children's eyes Children peek through it And everyone held their breath Cause I was working without a net And everyone held their breath Cause I was working without a net And everyone held their breath Cause I was working without a net And everyone held their breath Cause I was working without a net And everyone held their breath Cause I was working without a net
