Tightrope
Pacific Dub Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Spent so many nights up on this tightrope trying to hold, trying to hold
trying to balance everything you can find oh it's a heavy load, its a heavy load
so when you gunna stop and look around and try to realize that you're doing fine
like when you think it will come crashing down, you may come to find it's all up in your mind

you will see there may be some things to rely upon
when everything that feels right is wrong
spend some time you will find you'll never be on your own

someone will be there to show you on your way
someone will be there

all these days they feel the same after some time trying to find, trying to find
something that will satisfy your weary mind to feel alive, to feel alive
I said when you gunna stop and look around, try to realize that you're doing fine
like when you think it will come crashing down, you may come to find it's all up in your mind

you will see there may be some things to rely upon
when everything that feels right is wrong
spend some time you will find you'll never be on your own
someone will be there to show you on your way

you will see there may be some things to rely upon
when everything that feels right is wrong
spend some time you will find you'll never be on your own
someone will be there to show you on
you will see there may be some things to rely upon
everything that feels right is wrong
spend some time you will find you'll never be on your own

someone will be there to show you on your way
someone will be there
