Tightrope
ZAYN Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Why's it gotta feel like I'm walking a tightrope?
Why you wanna see how far I fall?
'Cause I'm already up here and I got my eyes closed
And I ain't ever fell from a love this tall

Are you ready? 'Cause I'm ready to let go
Never thought that I'd be ready again
Guess it's somethin' 'bout the neon red glow
Got me thinking 'bout giving all in

Something told me it was you
Something told me it was you
Something told me it was you
Something told me it was you

Sitting with my legs across your torso
We are who we are when we're alone
Baby, I'm ready, any minute we might fall
Lately, I feel like my grip is gone
But you got my arm

Are you ready? 'Cause I'm ready to let go
Never thought that I'd be ready again
Guess it's somethin' 'bout the neon red glow
Got me thinking 'bout giving all in

Something told me it was you
Something told me it was you
Something told me it was you
Something told me it was you

Chaudhvin Ka Chand ho
Ya Aaftaab Ho
Jo Bhi Ho Tum Khuda Ki
Kasam Lajawab Ho

Something told me it was you
Something told me it was you
Something told me it was you
Something told me it was you

Something told me it was you
Something told me it was you
Something told me it was you
Something told me it was you

Chaudhvin Ka Chand ho
Ya Aaftaab Ho




Jo Bhi Ho Tum Khuda Ki
Kasam Lajawab Ho

Line by Line Meaning

Why's it gotta feel like I'm walking a tightrope?
Why does love always feel like a risky balancing act where one wrong move could lead to a catastrophic fall?


Why you wanna see how far I fall?
Why do some people take pleasure in watching others fail and get hurt?


'Cause I'm already up here and I got my eyes closed

And I ain't ever fell from a love this tall
I have never experienced such intense feelings of love that have taken me to such heights, making me feel like a champion, but also making me feel the pressure to maintain that level of excellence.


Are you ready? 'Cause I'm ready to let go
Are you willing to take the same risk I am, to surrender yourself to this love without holding back, without fear, without regret?


Never thought that I'd be ready again
I had given up on love after being hurt in the past, but now I feel like I have rediscovered my courage and my hope for a better future.


Guess it's somethin' 'bout the neon red glow
Maybe it's the excitement of the moment, the adrenaline rush, the prospect of doing something daring and memorable that makes me want to seize the day and the night.


Got me thinking 'bout giving all in
I am tempted to go all in, to give my heart and soul to this love, even if it means taking a risk, even if it means sacrificing my pride or my freedom.


Something told me it was you
I have a hunch, an intuition, a sixth sense that tells me that you are the one I have been waiting for, the missing piece in my puzzle of life.


Sitting with my legs across your torso
I am in a physical, intimate position with you, feeling your warmth and your heartbeat, feeling safe and comfortable in your arms.


We are who we are when we're alone
We can be our true selves, our vulnerable, flawed, beautiful selves, without any mask or pretense, without any judgment or shame.


Baby, I'm ready, any minute we might fall
Even though I am scared and uncertain, I am also excited and curious to see where this love will take us, knowing that every moment is precious and every step is a risk.


Lately, I feel like my grip is gone
I am losing my confidence, my sense of control, my ability to hold on to this love, feeling like I am slipping away, like I am failing to keep my balance.


But you got my arm
You are my anchor, my support, my lifeline, helping me stay afloat and not giving up on us, even when the going gets tough.


Chaudhvin Ka Chand ho
You are like the full moon of the 14th day of the lunar month, a symbol of beauty, grace, and romance.


Ya Aaftaab Ho
You are like the sun, a source of light, warmth, and vitality, illuminating my life and giving me hope for a brighter future.


Jo Bhi Ho Tum Khuda Ki Kasam Lajawab Ho
Whatever you are, whoever you are, you are amazing, incredible, divine, beyond words, beyond imagination, beyond belief.

LYRICS
Why's it gotta feel like I'm walkin' a tightrope?
Why you wanna see how far I fall?
'Cause I'm already up here and I got my eyes closed
And I ain't never fell from a love this tall
Are you ready? 'Cause I'm ready to let go
Never thought that I'd be ready again
Guess there's somethin' 'bout the neon and red glow
Got me thinkin' 'bout givin' all in
Something told me it was you
Something told me it was you
Something told me it was you
Something told me it was you
Sittin' with my legs across your torso
We are who we are when we're alone
Baby, I'm ready, any minute we might fall
Lately, I feel like my grip is gone
But you got my all
Are you ready? 'Cause I'm ready to let go
Never thought that I'd be ready again
Guess there's somethin' 'bout the neon and red glow
Got me thinkin' 'bout givin' all in
Something told me it was you
Something told me it was you
Something told me it was you
Something told me it was you
چودھویں کا چاند ہو، یا آفتاب ہو؟
جو بھی ہو، خدا کی قسم، لاجواب ہو
Something told me it was you
Something told me it was you
Something told me it was you
Something told me it was you
Something told me it was you
Something told me it was you
Something told me it was you
Something told me it was you
چودھویں کا چاند ہو، یا آفتاب ہو؟
جو بھی ہو، خدا کی قسم، لاجواب ہو
