On the Wire

Could it ever be any more than just something I think about When my love feels low and my blood runs thin I guess it's time to figure out Because everything changes when the drugs run dry And there's nothing between us It's just bottles and bags and my tired hands Getting over the staying up 'Cause I've been feeling older As the nights rage And the days roll As the lights fade out See me walking on a wire Fallen down so many times I've given up on moving higher, higher yeah Never wanted to leave you but it's done now You don't wanna believe me when I'm strung out Still just walking on a wire It's getting tighter I'm getting tied up (I'm getting tied up, yeah) I've been thinking about the nights I never finished What do they mean in time? Staying wasted on the days I couldn't face it Thought I could balance on a line But I can change God I've tried before I've lost faith And I can't lose more See me walking on a wire Fallen down so many times I've given up on moving higher, higher yeah I never wanted to leave you but it's done now You don't wanna believe me when I'm strung out Still just walking on a wire It's getting tighter So how could I survive For a minute without the drive Every day to another class If I could get out from my past But I can't give it up yet See me walking on a wire Fallen down so many times I've given up on moving higher See me walking on a wire Fallen down so many times I've given up on moving higher, higher yeah I never wanted to leave you but it's done now You don't wanna believe me when I'm strung out Still just walking on a wire It's getting tighter I'm getting tied up
