On a Wire

Awake at night, comfortably restless in this bed
We push rewind on conversations in our heads
The silence, the silence steals the air

I've got you walking on a tight rope, honey
You're trying hard to keep the engine running
Afraid you'll cross over the line
A victim of this petty crime
I've got you walking on a tight rope, honey
I've got you walking on a wire

A glass of wine, a medication for the past
The hands of time can't turn around, can't take it back
Oh, the silence, the silence steals the air

I've got you walking on a tight rope, honey
You're trying hard to keep the engine running
Afraid you'll cross over the line
A victim of this petty crime
I've got you walking on a tight rope, honey
I've got you walking on a wire

I've got you walking on a tight rope, honey
You're trying hard to keep the engine running
Afraid you'll cross over the line
A victim of this petty crime
I've got you walking on a tight rope, honey
I've got you walking on a wire
