Tightrope
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Some people long for a life
That is simple and planned, tied with a ribbon
Some people won't sail the sea
'Cause they're safer on land
To follow what's written but I'd
Follow you to the great unknown
Off to a world we call our own
Hand in my hand and we promise to never let go
We're walking a tightrope
High in the sky we can see the whole world down below
We're walking a tightrope
Never sure, never know how far we could fall
But it's all an adventure
That comes with a breathtaking view
Walking a tightrope with you
Mountains and valleys and all that will come in between
Desert and ocean
You pulled me in and together we're lost in a dream
Oh, he's in motion so I risk it all
Just to be with you
And I'll risk it all for this life we choose
Hand in my hand and you promise to never let go
We're walking a tightrope
High in the sky we can see the whole world down below
We're walking a tightrope
Never sure, but you catch me if I should fall
Well, it's all an adventure that comes with a breathtaking view
Walking the tightrope with you
