Walk the Wire
Dashboard Madonna Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We may lose a race but we'll never lose our pace
So, don't you worry time is on our side
We'll take whatever comes in our stride
If I could you know I would
I'd walk through fire
If I could you know I would
I'd walk the wire
When the weight of the world rolls in like a tide
But don't you worry, please don't worry
Even when it grinds us down
We'll know when to shine
If I could you know I would
I'd walk through fire
If I could you know I would
I'd walk the wire
You know I will hear you call
Catch your fall
You know I will be there
Please have a little faith in me
Just believe and you will see
Time is a crime such a crime
It gets away with everything
Even our lives
But don't worry, we will spend whatever we have left
With love in our minds
If I could you know I would
I'd walk through fire
If I could you know I would
I'd walk the wire

The other is honest about being a douchebag
I'll take the enemy you know over the one who lies to you
Yet again both are liars
So idk the whole system needs to be destroyed
