[Verse 1] Balanced on a wire, high above the earth tonight Looking for an answer, finding not one in sight Slowly falling into my emotions Drowning in an ocean and I can't find you Balanced on a wire, high above the earth tonight
[Pre-Chorus 1] Now I'm hanging by a thread, but I never felt so alive And to the very last minute we will always be death-defying
[Chorus] Caught in the act of flying solo This acrobat is lost and I don’t know where I’ll land As I reach for your hand All of the lights can be so blinding But every time I jump you always find me without a net So please don’t forget 'Cause right now I'm out of control Swear you’re never gonna let go
[Verse 2] Tell me not to look down, promise that you’re gonna stay Spinning like a top now, feeling like I'm gonna break... into nothing Tell me that there’s still hope back up on the tightrope... faster and faster Balanced on a wire, high above the earth tonight
[Pre-Chorus 2] And it doesn't make sense how me and you still survive And to the very last minute we will always be death-defying
[Chorus]
[Bridge] Now I'm hanging by a thread but I never felt so alive And to the very last minute we will always be death-defying
