Tightrope lyrics - Sara Bareilles

(originally by Michelle Ingrid Williams)

Some people long for a life that is simple and planned, tied with a ribbon

Some people won't sail the sea, 'cause they're safer on land

To follow what's written but I'd follow you to the great unknown

Off to a world we call our own

Hand in my hand and we promise to never let go

We're walking a tightrope

High in the sky we can see the whole world down below

We're walking a tightrope

Never sure, never know how far we could fall

But it's all an adventure that comes with a breathtaking view

Walking a tightrope with you

Mountains and valleys and all that will come in between

Desert and ocean

You pulled me in and together we're lost in a dream

Oh, he's in motion so I risk it all

Just to be with you

And I'll risk it all for this life we choose

Hand in my hand and you promise to never let go

We're walking a tightrope

High in the sky we can see the whole world down below

We're walking a tightrope

Never sure, but you catch me if I should fall

Well, it's all an adventure that comes with a breathtaking view

Walking the tightrope with you
