Don’t you give up, don’t allow disaster
Don’t you give up, don’t you let her win
We’re talking about a forever after
Don’t you give up, don’t you dare give in
Don’t you give up, don’t you dare give in

Doesn’t it seem most precarious
Doesn’t it seem such a chance to take
Doesn’t it seem most precarious
Why does it feel like a big mistake

Please understand and hear what I’m saying
The time is now and you don’t have long
She could be oceans away tomorrow
So soon your chance will have come and gone
So soon your chance will have come and gone

Doesn’t it seem most precarious
Doesn’t it seem such a chance to take
Doesn’t it seem most precarious
Why does it feel like a big mistake

The tightwire’s strung and you’re out in the middle
All eyes upon you, no net below
Inches to go and you’re almost home free
Feel the wire swinging to and fro
Feel the wire swinging to and fro

Doesn’t it seem most precarious
Doesn’t it seem such a chance to take
Doesn’t it seem most precarious
Why does it feel like it’d be a damn shame
It’d be forever if it meant a day
How stoically I exclaim
When she turns from me and walks away

The light in her eyes, explanation escapes you
Longing to please and not feel alone
And she doesn’t know it, but really she loves you
Some day so soon you’re gonna make it home
Some day so soon you’re gonna make it home

Doesn’t it seem most precarious
Doesn’t it seem such a chance to take
Doesn’t it seem most precarious
Why does it feel like a big mistake

Doesn’t it seem most precarious
Doesn’t it seem such a chance to take
Doesn’t it seem most precarious
Why does it feel like a big mistake
