[Verse 1]
Balanced on a wire
High above the earth tonight
Looking for an answer
Finding not a one in sight, slowly falling
Into my emotions, drowning in an ocean
And I can't find you
Balanced on a wire
High above the earth tonight

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Now I'm hanging by a thread
But I never felt so alive
And to the very last minute
We will always be death-defying

[Chorus]
Caught in the act of flying solo
This acrobat is lost, and I don't
Know where I'll land, as I reach for your hand
All of the lights can be so blinding
But every time I jump, you always find me
Without a net, so please don't forget
'Cause right now, I'm out of control
Swear you're never gonna let go
[Verse 2]
Tell me not to look down
Promise that you're gonna stay
Spinning like a top now
Feeling like I'm gonna break into nothing
Tell me that there's still hope
Back up on the tightrope, faster and faster
Balanced on a wire
High above the earth tonight

[Pre-Chorus 2]
And it doesn't make sense
How me and you still survive
And to the very last minute
We will always be death-defying

[Chorus]
Caught in the act of flying solo
This acrobat is lost, and I don't
Know where I'll land, as I reach for your hand
All of the lights can be so blinding
But every time I jump, you always find me
Without a net, so please don't forget
'Cause right now, I'm out of control
Swear you're never gonna let go
[Bridge]
Now I'm hanging by a thread
But I never felt so alive
And to the very last minute
We will always be death-defying

[Chorus]
Caught in the act of flying solo
This acrobat is lost, and I don't
Know where I'll land, as I reach for your hand
All of the lights can be so blinding
But every time I jump, you always find me
Without a net, so please don't forget
'Cause right now, I'm out of control
Swear you're never gonna let go
