High Wire

Love, I lost you many miles ago

Love, you let me down just in time

Love, I open my mouth, nothing comes out

But you're on my mind

And love, don't treat me like a telescope

Like your only hope of seeing a distant sky

And love, don't need me as an afterthought

I can always spot it, I will not say goodbye

A second time

Stop me if you've heard this one before

Girl meets boy in a revolving door

She swings out of his orbit, and back again, and round again

And he's just in the doorway glued to the floor

And love, don't treat me like a lightning storm

Like an early warning, I will bring, good things too

And love, don't see me, I'm a solar flare

I can hardly bear it, hoping I’ll burn you

See if I do

Stop me if you've heard this one before

Girl meets boy who doesn’t know the score

She swings, he doesn’t catch it, she tries again, she swings again

He’s not sure what the rules are anymore

And love, save me from the sudden thought

That you can’t be bothered, I’ll set your heart, on fire

And love, lately I’ve been dropping sand

I’ve been overbalanced, girl on a high wire

Love

I lost you

Many miles ago

I lost you

Many miles ago, I lost you

Many miles ago
