Tightrope Lyrics by Illy

Cinematic: Uncut

2013

[Verse 1: Illy]
I was like, "What you want me to do?"
She was like, "What, you want me to choose?"
I was like, "Well, I didn't say that, but you know
Help me help you"
I'm on that balance beam to keep you happy
Or say, "Fuck it", stay mad at me
Know how that goes: drink, fight
Patch things up in the back of a taxi
She can skate thin ice on wheels
And not once get wet
She could walk fine lines in heels
Not one foot out of step
And I swear I'll leave you swept
Off your feet, it's just, I guess
I'm falling hard myself here
Yeah, over my head
It's like I'm

[Chorus: Kristina Miltiadou]
Yeah, it's like I'm walking on a tightrope
And every step could be the one where I fall
It's like I'm running with a blindfold
And I could be wrong but I don't know, I don't know

[Verse 2: Illy, Illy & Kristina Miltiadou]
Headed for the deep end
Thursday, we fight and forget it by the weekend
Fast learner, I figured out quick
With her, it's not the getting, it's the keeping
'Cause she's a gem
So everyone wants her shining with them
Gettin' my bulldog on, bro, mind your step
Keep it on your side of the fence
I play my demos, one last one
Smile if she likes it, laugh if it sucks
Cold blooded, she the first in my corner
But now, what's that if it ain't called love? Huh
When it's all said and done
Baby ain't happy till my head's spun
So I might get lucky, I might get none
Like I'm right back at square one
Feels like I'm

[Chorus: Kristina Miltiadou]
It's like I'm walking on a tightrope
And every step could be the one where I fall
It's like I'm running with a blindfold
And I can't help but feel that I'm about to lose control
It's like I'm walking on a tightrope
Running with a blindfold
Rolling with my eyes closed, woah-oh
It's like I'm walking on a tightrope
And I could be wrong
But I don't know, I don't know

[Bridge: Kristina Miltiadou & Illy]
It's like I'm walking on a tightrope
(It's like I'm walking on a tightrope)
And every step could be the one where I fall
(And every step could be the one where I fall)
It's like I'm running with a blindfold
(It's like I'm running with a blindfold)
And I can't help but feel that I'm about to lose control
(And I'm about to lose control, woah, woah, woah)
It's like I'm walking on a tightrope
Running with a blindfold
Rolling with my eyes closed
It's like I'm walking on a tightrope
(It's like I'm walking on a tightrope)
And I could be wrong (And I could be wrong)
And I could be wrong (And I could be wrong)

[Chorus: Kristina Miltiadou]
It's like I'm walking on a tightrope
And every step could be the one where I fall
It's like I'm running with a blindfold
And I can't help but feel that I'm about to lose control
It's like I'm walking on a tightrope
Running with a blindfold
Rolling with my eyes closed, woah-oh
It's like I'm walking on a tightrope
And I could be wrong
But I don't know, I don't know
