On The Wire

(álbum: The Present Is A Foreign Land - 2022)

Could it ever be any more
Than just something I think about?
When my love feels low and my blood runs thin
I guess it's time to figure out
'Cause everything changes when the drugs run dry
And there's nothing between us
It's just bottles and bags and my tired hands
Getting over the staying up

'Cause I've been feeling older
As the nights rage
And the days roll
As the lights fade out

See me walking on a wire
Fallen down so many times
I've given up on moving higher (Higher, yeah)
I never wanted to leave you, but it's done now
You don't wanna believe me when I'm strung out
Still just walking on a wire
It's getting tighter, I'm getting tied up
(Mm, I'm getting tied up, yeah)

I've been thinking about the nights I never finished
What do they mean in time?
Staying wasted on the days, I couldn't face it
Thought I could balance on a line

But I can change
God, I've tried before
I've lost faith
And I can't lose more

See me walking on a wire
Fallen down so many times
I've given up on moving higher (Moving higher)
I never wanted to leave you, but it's done now
You don't wanna believe me when I'm strung out
Still just walking on a wire
It's getting tighter

So how could I survive
For a minute without the drive?
Every day to another class
If I could get out from my past
But I can't give it up yet

See me walking on a wire
Fallen down so many times
I've given up on moving higher
Yeah

See me walking on a wire
Fallen down so many times
I've given up on moving higher (Moving higher)
I never wanted to leave you, but it's done now
You don't wanna believe me when I'm strung out
Still just walking on a wire
It's getting tighter
I'm getting tied up
