Morning Crush - Tightrope Dance lyrics

Everything kept on falling down But she didn't put down her brush She carried on at the perfect speed Though time was speeding up And I always respected all the ways she drew my mind I was void of any purpose 'till I found it just in time I had a blue tie job that didn't care if I showed up They'd replace me in a weekend But that didn't make me stop 'till I found you on the pavement You were selling your designs My teeth finally met the wind And I felt it just in time Our beauty was a tightrope dance With only room for one I'm glad I spend some time up there Before I knocked you down I'm glad that you reminded me About the speed of light And we didn't need to carry on We saw it just in time We had the same ideas That made us lose the war And blighty's blowing crazy wind Worse than it's done before Every time I see a lonely man Wave his little flag I'll think about your mother tongue And the patches on your bag Though I don't believe you felt the sting They felt on the front line I still believe your heart was there And I saw it just in time We held the same scorn For the artist on TV The Jester with the face paint on Telling us how to be free Everything you ever love will change you in some way Doesn't matter if you need it Or if you can't be swayed But all you really did for me Was sing a warm goodbye And that doesn't happen often, babe I heard it just in time
