Astronautalis - Tightrope lyrics

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 the 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 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 Take a step into my quest and try to hold my body stable Take a guess at futures next and wonder when I'm who's the next net to come along and try and save you I'm game to Talking loving 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
