lyrics

She was getting high on it. You were walking tightropes for that girl. She was gonna die from it. You were dying from the weight of the world.

You hold only one side of the highwire, walking to the one you love.

Two people from dusk to dawn but it won't work out; from the time we're born to the time we begin to talk, it's tricky not to give up.

We were the top of the world (you're my downhill girl).

When the top of the world is coming down, like you've felt before, like you know it will; when the top of the world is crashing down, I hope you have love girl, I hope you have love.
