Lyrics

Who would have thought that I'd be here by myself?
Who would have thought that you'd be bad for my health?
Now I know, now I know
I'm just a man on a wire
Who would have thought I'd be the cause and effect?
Your steady love is not tomorrow's regrets
Now I know, now I know
I'm just a man on a wire

No, I can't look down
I'm trying to fight the feeling
I will fall to the ground
if I ever see you
'cause I feel like I'm walkin' on a tightrope

My heart is in my throat
I'm counting on high hope to get me over you
And I've got my eyes closed
As long as the wind blows
I'm counting on high hope to get me over you, you
'Cause I'm a man on a wire, on a wire
I'm a man on a wire, on a wire

Who would have thought I'd see you with someone else?
Who would have thought that I'd be in such a mess?
Now you know, now you know
I'm just a man on a wire

When I walk that line
I try to keep my senses
Make it to the other side
I know the consequences

And I feel like I'm walkin' on a tight road
My heart is in my throat
I'm counting on high hope to get me over you
And I've got my eyes closed
As long as the wind blows
I'm counting on high hope to get me over you, you
'Cause I'm a man on a wire, on a wire
I'm a man on a wire, on a wire
'Cause I'm a man on a wire, on a wire
'Cause I'm a man on a wire, on a wire

The higher it gets
The more I miss the ground
No safetiness
Now you're not around
I have to keep walking
To keep me from falling down

Feels like I'm walkin' on a tightrope
My heart is in my throat
I'm counting on high hope to get me over you, you
And I've got my eyes closed
As long as the wind blows
I'm counting on high hope to get me over you, you
'Cause I'm a man on a wire, on a wire
I'm a man on a wire, on a wire
I'm a man on a wire, on a wire
I'm a man on a wire, on a wire
