LyricMeaning

Tightrope
Astronautalis

I'd grown accustomed to the touching

The stares and the umbrellas

That you held atop my hairs

When the subtle rain befell us


The acrobat safely steps

Above the safety net

Faced the lengthy stretch

And didn't even seem to sweat the place of the net


Whether the taste the grace of the final place

Or face the hated misstep

He trusts the heart string net

Will always be there dressed to catch


I make mistakes like the next but I never make regrets

I'm not upset I climbed those steps and tried to cross that thing

I don't blame you or anyone when we cut strings

But I don't look forward to interviewing the new applying sets of arms

That will catch me and protect me from the potential bodily harm

Catch me and protect me with their wit and charm


So I raise the sacred bar and take a charge across that bloody cable

Take a step into my quest and try to hold my body stable

Take a guess at futures next and wonder when I'm who's the next net to come along

And try and save you

I'm game to

Talking loving and maintaining the friendship

But I know that will never fit because it will always be second best


Mothers cover their children's eyes

Children peek through it

And everyone held their breath

'Cause I was working without a net


And everyone held their breath

'Cause I was working without a net

And everyone held their breath

'Cause I was working without a net

And everyone held their breath

'Cause I was working without a net

And everyone held their breath

'Cause I was working without a net
