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, oh Who would have thought about the cause and effect? Yesterday's love is not tomorrow's regrets Now I know, now I know I'm just a man on a wire, oh 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' a tightrope My heart is in my throat I'm counting on high hopes to get me over you And I've got my eyes closed As long as the wind blows I'm counting on high hopes 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, oh But 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 hopes to get me over you And I've got my eyes closed As long as the wind blows I'm counting on high hopes 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 I get The more I miss the ground No safety nets Now you're not around I have to keep walking To keep me from falling down, yeah Feels like I'm walkin' on a tightrope My heart is in my throat I'm counting on high hopes to get me over you And I've got my eyes closed As long as the wind blows I'm counting on high hopes 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 I'm a man on a wire, on a wire, yeah
