Tightrope
I'd grown accustomed to the touching The stares and the umbrellas That you held atop my hair When the subtle rain befell us The acrobat safely steps Above the safety net Faced the lengthy stretch And didn't sweat the placement yet Whether the taste the grace of the final place Or face the hated misstep He trusts the heart string net will always be there dresssed to catch I make mistakes like the next but I never make regrets I'm not upset I climbed the steps and tried to cross that thing I don't blame you or anyone when it was time to cut the strings But I don't look foward 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 peak through it And everyone held their breath Because I was working without a net From Letras Mania
