Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I keep my eyes wide open all the time
I keep the ends out for the tie that binds
Because you're mine, I walk the line
I find it very, very easy to be true
I find myself alone when each day is through
Yes, I'll admit that I'm a fool for you
Because you're mine, I walk the line
Because you're mine, I walk the line
You've got a way to keep me on your side
You give me cause for love that I can't hide
For you I know I'd even try to turn the tide
Because you're mine, I walk the line
Because you're mine, I walk the line
Oh, because you're mine, I walk the line
Because you're mine, I walk the line
Because you're mine, I walk the line

Yes, it’s a cover. But man if it isn’t a damn good cover. It’s so... ethereal. It’s very Halsey, too.
