[Verse 1]
You seem to love me when I’m not around
When I have to go to ground
You just seem to want me when I’m never there
Silence is everywhere

[Chorus]
On a tightrope with you
Too scared to look down through my fingers
Walking a tightrope with you
I made my mistake when I slipped through the noose

[Verse 2]
You seem to know where your life’s headed next
But first you'll just stay in bed
Clicking your fingers and dragging your heels
The high life is within you

[Chorus]
On a tightrope with you
Too scared to look down through my fingers
Walking a tightrope with you
I made my mistake when I slipped through the noose

[Bridge]
We know more than we used to
We know more than we used to
We know more than we used to
[Chorus]
On a tightrope with you
Too scared to look down through my fingers
Walking a tightrope with you
I made my mistake when I slipped through the noose

[Verse 4 (repeat of Verse 1)]
You seem to love me when I am not around
When I have to go to ground
But you seem to want me when I am never there
Silence is everywhere
