I met her on the high wire where below the world looks small
but when you're on the high wire you've got so far to fall
we danced upon the high wire where your head will start to spin
you know you just can't think straight cause up the there the air's so thin

CHORUS
then I left her on the high wire, when I fell back down to ground
and as I fell in pieces she just looked and never made a sound
and once you breathed that sweet air it's so hard to settle down
to a life where nothing's ventured with both feet on the ground

now I watch her on the high wire, dancing to a different tune
but the steps are all the same and I know that he'll fall soon
cause I see his legs are shaking oh I know the signs too well
and if you join her on the high wire you'll fall under her spell

CHORUS
then you'll leave her on the high wire as you fall back down to ground
and as you fell to pieces she'll just look and never make a sound
and once you breathed that sweet air it's hard to settle down
to a life where nothing's ventured with both feet on the ground
