Don't Look Down
Austin & Ally Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yeah
Woah
I'm walking on a thin line
And my hands are tied
Got no where to hide

I'm standing at a crossroads
Don't know where to go
Feeling so exposed

Yeah I'm caught in between
Where I'm going and where I've been
But I know, there's no turning back
Yeah

It's like I'm balanced on the edge
It's like I'm hanging by a thread
But I'm still gonna push ahead
So I tell myself
Yeah, I tell myself

Don't look down, down, down, down
Don't look down, down, down, down
Don't look down, down, down, down
Don't look down, down, down, down

It'd be so easy
Just to run
It'd be so easy
To just give up

But I'm not that girl who go turn my back
There's no turning back

No turning back

It's like I'm balanced on the edge

It's like I'm hanging by a thread

But I'm still gonna push ahead
So I tell myself
Yeah I tell myself

Don't look down, down, down, down
(down!)
Don't look down, down, down, down
Don't look down, down, down, down




(Austin, don't look down! Don't look down!)
Don't look down, down, down, down!
