Awake at night
Comfortably restless in this bed
We push rewind
On conversations in our heads
The silence
The silence steals the air

I’ve got you walking on a tight rope, honey
You’re trying hard to keep the engine running
Afraid you’ll cross over the line
A victim of this petty crime
I’ve got you walking on a tight rope, honey
I’ve got you walking on a wire

A glass of wine
A medication for the past
The hands of time
Can’t turn around, can’t take it back
Oh, the silence
The silence steals the air

I’ve got you walking on a tight rope, honey
You’re trying hard to keep the engine running
Afraid you’ll cross over the line
A victim of this petty crime
I’ve got you walking on a tight rope, honey
I’ve got you walking on a wire

I’ve got you walking on a tight rope, honey
You’re trying hard to keep the engine running
Afraid you’ll cross over the line
A victim of this petty crime
I’ve got you walking on a tight rope, honey
I’ve got you walking on a wire
