Running out of control Take you walking on a highwire crazy No net down below It’s gonna get a little too far out there Just you wait and see Come swimming in the flames with me Love you like a wildfire Ain’t nothing ‘bout loving me Is gonna be easy

'Cause we all fall down Climb every mountain How high doesn't matter Don't ever be afraid to fall Walk out on that wire Climb every ladder Keep your back against the wall And don't be scared to hit the ground Don't be afraid to lose your way

Let me hear it now We all come in from the cold We come down from the wire An everybody warms themselves To a different fire When sometimes we get burned You'd think sometime we'd learn

I swear you'll stay to maintain the pain I put a bullet in my radio Something just hit me funny I don't know Just pulled the trigger going down the road You slammed the door and knocked me off the wire Been walking lines and you've been burning tires

Higher and higher When I offer you survival You say it's hard enough to live It's not so bad, it's not so bad How do you know that you're right? We're gonna take it Down to the wire Watch it go If you're not nervous anymore
