Boy & Bear - Walk the Wire download mp3

Lyrics

It was the strangest night
The kind of scene I don’t fit into
I didn’t feel so right
And 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 talkin' 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 fading 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 to be brave too, because you’ve earned that right
You better walk that wire
There’s something in the air, right
Keep steady as you walk away
And we’re never gonna 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
Know there’s heaven in a folk song, so just you hold on, because you’re dancing
on the wire
Mm, alright…
