Tightrope (Instrumental) - Piano Dreamers

I've been staring at the world from a tightrope Worried sick but I'm hanging on to high hopes And I'm swinging hard, always hoping that I strike gold But you walk by and it's like you've got your eyes closed And I don't mean to intrude But I'm dying to reach you So can I try to be somebody you could love? I don't know if I could ever measure up And you took my breath like water in my lungs But I would die to be somebody you could love Oh I never know just what to say, so I keep shut It's like I'm always too afraid I'm gonna freeze up And if I try too hard, then it's too much But if I don't start soon, I'm gonna lose touch It's just the way you give me too much to choose from And I don't mean to intrude But I'm dying to reach you So can I try to be somebody you could love? I don't know if I could ever measure up But you took my breath like water in my lungs And I would die to be somebody you could love Oh Oh Don't remind me I could never be enough Stay beside me 'cause I only want your love Don't remind me I could never be enough Stay beside me 'cause I only want your love I've been staring at the world from a tightrope Worried sick but I'm hanging on to high hopes So can I try to be somebody you could love? I don't know if I could ever measure up But you took my breath like water in my lungs And I would die to be somebody you could love Oh Oh Yeah, you took my breath like water in my lungs And I would die to be somebody you could love

I stood naked in the dark Waiting to begin a thousand other nights My heart stood still It's too late to be afraid There had been worse times There had been close times Pot times junk times In that moment my life didn't fail me My will is stronger than my flesh And if it can destroy you it can save you too Help me out I'm losing time Help me out I'm losing time We are dreamers We are believers We are dreamers We are future You are ignorant of all it takes For me to stand here Hate for you drinkers You talkers You glass tappers Sing-alongers Foot pounders The eager The bored The hip The square All those who paid and expect value in return I gave you a vision once And you expect me to have it still? Like a birthmark or a scar I'm a victim of my past Help me out I'm losing time Help me out I'm losing time We are dreamers We are believers We are dreamers We are future I am here I utter my truth in the half dark In the thronged rooms where everyone's breath Tastes of cigarettes and alcohol Where people leave the day behind them at the door I stand with you sensation hunters Impervious to shame or pride Now I look out Over a wall of weakness My pride has nothing left to wound but myself I'm too old to walk away Too drunk to make it Too sick to be afraid One has to destroy something to create something new And you are my friend more than anyone Candy, will you dance with me? We are dreamers We are believers We are dreamers We are future
