Tightrope Ryan Adams

[Verse 1]
Strong winds and my head's on fire
Walk another day across the high wire
I'm on a tightrope, watch it as it swings
Like a countdown ticker on New Year's Eve

[Verse 2]
We run the numbers, spinning in the side
Counting all the reasons that we're broken and we lied
I'm on a tightrope, watch it as it heaves
Heating up the metal, putting pressure on the springs

[Chorus]
All I want is for you to make me smile
All I want is for you to drive me wild

[Verse 3]
Pretty candles on a birthday cake
Covered in confetti with the caffeine shakes
Fuck all the money, everything is trash
Papers in the glove box, light it up and pass

[Verse 4]
Flip on the tube, we watch it till we sleep
Ain't nothing but static and the panics and the feeling manic
I'm on a tightrope, watch it as it swings
Like a countdown ticker on New Year's Eve
