lyrics

There's your car but I'll walk instead
there's your door but it's painted red
Where's your heart when I need a friend
Don't think I don't know

Well you say that you need me now
But I'm here, and you're not around
Back and forth like a pendulum
Hanging by a spider's thread

You and me are living on a tightrope
Built our house on high hopes
A long way from the ground
If we fall we fall into each other
There is no escaping
The concrete all around

Your fate is my fate
My fate is your way
We cannot erase
The pieces are broken
Our wounds they are open
Tears stream down my face

Where's your soul when I need it most
I wanna run but you're like a ghost
Haunting me in my dreams at night
Bringing me back to life

Sleep forever don't wake me up
Only place I can feel your touch
Only place we can breathe as one
Up against your smoking gun

You and me are living on a tightrope
Built our house on high hopes
A long way from the ground
If we fall we fall into each other
There is no escaping
The concrete all around

Your fate is my fate
My fate is your way
We cannot erase
The pieces are broken
Our wounds they are open
Tears stream down my face

[Trus Real:]

I thought there wasn't any strings but now I feel this tight rope
Like nylon that's tied on to your heart and my throat
first it seemed like I was cold and I lacked the passion
Like I'm passed the past, let it go, what happened happened

Moving on, it's another day, I'm feelin new
But there's something there, you're not alone I feel it too
a fishing line, a spider Web ...some kinda fiber thread
Does it lead us to a light or to the bite from a vipers head
Ill never know.... and time is gonna fly
i can't do it with my hands tied untie me and I'll try
but every start will have its end, you can deny it you can lie
but everytime you would say hi It just reminds me of goodbye

You can find me by your side, I'll hold you down until I lose ya
You say enjoy the now but what's the now without a future?
The past...and it can stop a great love
but we can't walk away cuz

You and me are living on a tightrope
Built our house on high hopes
A long way from the ground
If we fall we fall into each other
There is no escaping
The concrete all around

You and me are living on a tightrope
Built our house on high hopes
A long way from the ground
If we fall we fall into each other
There is no escaping
The concrete all around
