Tightrope
Lovespeake Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Waiting for the right time
Tell you my story
Walking on a tightrope thinking
Making priorities, priorities
Sometimes I never know
How high this gotta go
Sometimes I never know(I never know)
How high this gotta go
Staying on the right side
Try to get back
Balance in a fine line, between
Thinking bout' right and wrong, the side i'm on
Sometimes I never know
How high this gotta go
Sometimes I never know(I never know)
How high this gotta go
Waiting for the right time, walk the straight line
Waiting for the right time, ooh

(Guitarsolo)

Sometimes I never know
How high this gotta go
Sometimes I never know
How high this gotta go
Take it higher
I'm on fire
Can't you see me




I'm on wire
oh oh
