Boy & Bear - Walk The Wire lyrics

It was the strangest night The kind of scene I don't fit into It didn't feel so right But she came back 'round Drifting across my sight Some apparition of make believe I felt my chest grow tight And I tumbled in And she said "Hey baby, hold my hand out on the wire" Oh, I'm telling you the whole thing is just a breaking of desire You inevitably hold on Because you always do You gotta walk that wire Oh I'm talking in tongues 'cause I'm not made of steel Somebody save me from myself I'm just a man alright and I'm fumbling With all this faded light Maybe the moment to make my move You hold your breath so tight 'Cause we're tumbling And I said "Hey baby, hold my hand out on the wire" I've been telling you the whole time It's just a breaking of desire Now I promise you'll be brave too Because you've earned that right You gotta walk that wire There's something in the air I Keep it steady as you walk away And we're never going to know, right? But it's better than the other way And I said "Hey baby, hold my hand out on the wire" See, I never would have held on But at the aching of desire No there's heaven in a folk song So just you hold on 'Cause you're dancing on the wire Alright
