Lyrics

closin my eyes, yeah i’m dreamin of someplace
’stead of torn up and lost in the sky
everyone loves a good make or break story
here i am no place to hide

and i don’t look down
if i think about fallin, the ground will start callin
i don’t look down
in a world of big talkers, make way for the tightrope walker

my neighbor’s out smokin a joe on the curb
talkin ’bout fenway last night
reminds me of all of my friends and our stories
the best ones, packed full of lies

and i don’t look down
if i think about fallin, the ground will start callin
i don’t look down
in a world of big talkers, make way…

i lie to myself, i lie to myself
i know what this looks like, this tumblin, tumblin
i lie to myself, i need to, i need to
believe just a little bit longer

someday i’ll look back on all of my failures
the lessons i shoulda learned
and i hope that the mirror says the scars on my face
are signs of things i have earned

and i don’t look down
if i think about fallin, the ground will start callin
i don’t look down
in a world of big talkers, make way...

i don’t look down
if i think about fallin, the ground will start callin
i don’t look down
in a world of big talkers, make way for the tightrope walker
