Tightrope Of Love
Chatham County Line Lyrics

I found love is like a balancing act
Discovering love is like trying to balance oneself on a tightrope

Lean one way, you gotta react
When one side of love is too overwhelming, one must respond accordingly

This girl's got me up on a high wire
This woman has me walking on a tightrope of love, high above the ground

So step right up, ladies and gents
Addressing the audience, the performer invites them to witness his show of love

Like a tightrope walking in a circus tent
Comparing love to a circus act where performers walk on tightropes

Couldn't fall for her from any higher
The performer is in a position where he could not have loved her more

Might have found love
The performer thinks he has found love

But it didn't find me
In reality, love did not find the performer, he found it instead

I'm walking the line
The performer is walking on a thin line, trying to juggle his emotions and actions

Too thin to see
The line is so thin that it is almost invisible, and he might not even notice if he falls off it

Looking down, high above
From his high vantage point, the performer is able to witness the consequences of his balancing act

Walking on this tightrope of love
The performer is still on the tightrope of love, struggling to keep his balance

Her diamond eyes and ribbon hair
Describing the woman's stunning features

Got me walking through the air
The performer is walking in the air, filled with love and emotion

Every step just to show her what she's worth
The performer is trying to prove to her that she is valuable and deserves his love

To tell truth, I am inspired
The performer is inspired by the woman and his love for her

And every day walk that wire
The performer walks on the tightrope of love every day, repeating his balancing act

I'm putting on the greatest show on earth
His love for her is a grand performance that he wants to show the world

If I fell in my balancing act
The performer considers the possibility of failing in his attempt to balance his love

I can rest assured in the fact
Even if he falls, he can be content knowing he gave it his all

That I got as close to her as I can get
He came as close to loving her as possible, regardless of the outcome

And I did it all on a limb
He took a risk and put everything on the line for love

Looking down, high above
Repeating the same line, the performer once again marvels at his balancing act on the tightrope of love

Walking on this tightrope of love
Repeating the song's refrain, the performer is still on a balancing act in his journey of love
