Tightrope

I woke up before the sun

Chased your ghost across the yard

Through the fog and tumbling dark 'til you were gone

Virginia

I can hardly breathe

I've forgotten how to sleep

And your face still haunts my dreams when I'm alone

So now I'm walking on a tightrope wire

Too far off the ground

I'm imagining the words you said when last I saw your mouth

Yes

I'm walking on a tightrope wire

So afraid to fall

And I'd tell you that I miss you but I'm sure it doesn't matter at all

The things I gave away

They're not coming back for me

Should've learned from my mistakes but I never do

As I lay here all alone I hang up before I call

And admit to all my faults to pass the time

So now I'm walking on a tightrope wire

Too far off the ground

I'm imagining the words you said when last I saw your mouth

Yes

I'm walking on a tightrope wire

So afraid to fall

And I'd tell you that I miss you but I'm sure it doesn't matter at all

There's a place we used to go

Today I went alone

If there's a message in this song

Well I don't know

So now I'm walking on a tightrope wire

Too far off the ground

I'm imagining the words you said when last I saw your mouth

Yes

I'm walking on a tightrope wire

So afraid to fall

And I'd tell you that I miss you but I'm sure

So now I'm walking on a tightrope wire

Too far off the ground

I'm imagining the words you said when last I saw your mouth

Yes

I'm walking on a tightrope wire

So afraid to fall

And I'd tell you that I miss you but I'm sure

And I'd tell you that I miss you but I'm sure it doesn't matter at all
