Boy & Bear – Walk The Wire lyrics
[Verse 1]
It was the strangest night
The kind of scene I don't fit into
I didn't feel so right
And she came back 'round

Drifting across my sight
Some apparition of make believe
I felt my chest grow tight
And I tumbled in

[Chorus 1]
And she said, 'Hey baby, hold my hand out on the wire'
Oh, I'm telling you, the whole thing is just a breaking of desire
You inevitably hold on, because you always do
You gotta walk that wire

[Verse 2]
Oh, I'm talkin' in tongues, 'cause I'm not made of steel
Somebody save me from myself
I'm just a man, alright
And I'm fumbling

With all this fading light
Maybe the moment to make my move
You hold your breath so tight
Cause we're tumbling

[Chorus 2]
And I said, 'Hey baby, hold my hand out on the wire'
I've been telling you the whole time, it's just a breaking of desire
Now, I promise to be brave too, because you've earned that right
You better walk that wire

[Bridge]
There's something in the air, right
Keep steady as you walk away
And we're never gonna know right
But it's better than the other way

[Outro]
And I said, 'Hey baby, hold my hand out on the wire'
See, I never would have held on, but at the aching of desire
Know there's heaven in a folk song, so just you hold on, because you're dancing on the wire
Mm, alright...
