You seem to love me when I'm not around And I have to go somewhere You just seem to want me when I'm never there The silence is everywhere On a tightrope with you Too scared to look down through my fingers Walking a tightrope with you I made my mistake when I slipped from the noise You seem to know where your life's heading next Perhaps you're just saying it Clicking your fingers and dragging your heels I like this weird romance On a tightrope with you Too scared to look down through my fingers Walking this tightrope with you I made my mistake when I slipped from the noise We don't know that we're useless We don't know that we're useless We don't know that we're useless On a tightrope with you Too scared to look down through my fingers Walking a tightrope with you I made my mistake when I slipped from the noise You seem to love me when I'm not around And I have to go somewhere You just seem to want me when I'm never there Silence is everywhere
