Tightrope

Strong winds and my heads on fire
Walk another day across the high wire
I'm on a tightrope watch it as it swings
Like a countdown ticker on New Year's Eve.

We run the numbers
Spinning in the side
Counting all the reasons that
We are broken and we lied.

I'm on a tightrope watch it as it keeps
Heating up the metal
Putting pressure on the springs
All I want is for you to make me smile
All I want is for you to drive me wild.

Pretty candles
On a birthday cake
Covered in confetti
With the caffiene shakes
Fuck all that money
Everything is trash
Papers in the glove box
Light it up and pass
Flip on the tube
We watch it til we sleep
Ain't nothing but static
And the panic
And the feeling manic.

I'm on a tightrope watch it as it swings
Like a countdown ticker on New Year's Eve.

All I want is for you to make me smile
All I want is for you to drive me wild
All I want is for you to make me smile
All I want is for you to drive me wild, wild.
