Tightrope Lyrics by Joy Williams

We Mapped the World [EP]

2010

[Verse 1]
Come walk a tightrope with me
High up, with nothing but courage and gravity
We could fall
Just take my hand, hold it now
We’ll keep our wits if we just don’t look down, at all
We could fall

[Chorus]
Here we go on wire round, past the edge
Daring attention, of heights we dread
Oh fall or fly
We’ll never know if we don’t try

[Verse 2]
I can’t tell if I’m more afraid
Of this balancing string or of
Simply staying the same

[Chorus]
So give me a wire, 'round past the edge
Daring attention of heights we dread
Oh fall or fly
We’ll never know if we don’t try

[Chorus]
So lets go on a wire, 'round past the edge
Daring attention of heights we dread
Oh, fall or fly
We’ll never know if we don’t try
Oh, it’s high
High time
It’s a fine line
