Lemonade Mouth Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
This the story on how we lived
The glory of what we did
It started when we were kids
When music was up in our heads
She said
Breathing a little bit of fresh air
Big dreams, I took a chance
Held out for everything I've got here
I've been feeling this life's a circus
Hanging on without a fear
Livin' on a high wire
Runnin' through a wildfire
You can't shake me, I'm not going nowhere
Walking on a tight rope,
No net, high hopes
Step back, I'm gonna make it over
Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na
Living on a high wire
Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na
Living on a high wire
The the story on how we lived
The glory of what we did
It started when we were kids
When music was up in our heads
She said
Big top turning around, no clowns
I'm running as I hit the ground
Front row, big show is sold out
So I'm ready for the crowd roar, let's go
I've been feeling this life's a circus
Hanging on without a fear, yeah
Livin' on a high wire
Runnin' through a wildfire
You can't shake me, I'm not going nowhere
Walking on a tight rope,
No net, high hopes
Step back, I'm gonna make it over
Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na
Living on a high wire
Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na
Living on a high wire
When it comes to the beat
Seeing that the heads are moving
Move off your seat
Achievements what we're really doing
Freedom of speech
I'm in it just to win it
I'm springing it
I can see it
In the end that you can be it
Cuz it's patience
It's statements
Famous
Greatness
Moving till you make it through
I know that you can make it too
Livin' on a high wire
Runnin' through a wildfire
You can't shake me, I'm not going nowhere
Walking on a tight rope,
No net, high hopes
Step back, I'm gonna make it over
Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na
Living on a high wire
Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na
Living on a high wire
Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na
Living on a high wire
