lyrics

back and forth
bottoms up
will you wake
when you drop?

some stay safe,
some get lost,
not every savior
dies on a cross

every night
playing dead
to the devil
in my head

and i know
i’ll be fine
but what do i do in the meantime?

balance ain’t easy on a tightrope
you fell much harder than you hoped
balance ain’t easy on a tightrope
will you jump, or will you choke?

say you love
me tonight
change your mind
with the light

getting up
to go to sleep
trying hard
to keep the beat

and i know
it’s time and place
interrupting
someone’s chase

but if you
come back my way
can you promise me you’ll stay?

balance ain’t easy on a tightrope
you fell much harder than you hoped
balance ain’t easy on a tightrope
will you jump, or will you choke?

it’s been so long, i’m not supposed to
i guess it’s something i just got used to.

balance ain’t easy on a tightrope
you fell much harder than you hoped
balance ain’t easy on a tightrope
will you jump, or will you choke?
