Nobody should be lonely beneath this many lights
With their greatest ambitions so nearly in their sights
I know what I am meant for, and I’m happy to comply
But there’s a lingering desire I’m trying to deny
Tonight I’m walking a line
A faded line
I want to hear you whisper things you try not to show
Things that you shouldn’t tell me, things I already know
But we will dance in silence and blame it on the beer
As the spaces in between us and the faces disappear
Tonight I’m walking a line
A faded line
What now may seem harmless will all start weighing in
And my heart will be too heavy to take me here again
I’ve got to face a mirror, I’ve got to take a stance
But I’ve got another quarter and time for one more dance
Tonight I’m walking a line
A faded line
