Music & lyrics: john popper Don't you give up don't allow disaster Don't you give up don't you let her win We're talking about a "forever after" Don't you give up don't you dare give in Don't you give up don't you dare give in Doesn't it seem most precarious Doesn't it seem such a chance to take Doesn't it seem most precarious Why does it feel like a big mistake Please understand and hear what i'm saying The time is now and you don't have long She could be oceans away tomorrow So soon your chance will have come and gone So soon your chance will have come and gone Doesn't it seem most precarious Doesn't it seem such a chance to take Doesn't it seem most precarious Why does it feel like a big mistake The tight-wires strung and you're out in the middle All eyes upon you no net below Inches to go and you're almost home free Feel the wires swaying to and fro Feel the wires swaying to and fro Doesn't it seem most precarious Doesn't it seem such a chance to take Doesn't it seem most precarious Why does it feel like it would be a damn shame Would be forever if it meant a day How stoically i exclaim As she turns from me and walks away The light in her eyes explanation escapes you Longing to please and not feel alone And she doesn't know it but really she loves you Some day so soon you're gonna make it home Some day so soon you're gonna make it home Doesn't it seem most precarious Doesn't it seem such a chance to take Doesn't it seem most precarious Why does it feel like a big mistake Doesn't it seem most precarious Doesn't it seem such a chance to take Doesn't it seem most precarious Why does it feel like a big mistake
