Chris Alma Jose - Tightrope Lyrics

We were dancing on a timeline
Never knew it was a high-wire
Never thought we'd fall from grace
We just ran out of time and space
And the people that we knew
They seemed to be there every day
And the laughter that we shared
Seemed to go on forever and a day

So we go and work so hard
Into shaping up our days
Trust in oh so many things
Just to fill us up with haze
And it all changes fast
In the blinking of an eye
The values that we hold
In the end they pass us by

High up on a tightrope
We were juggling many things
Never needed wings
Yeah we were high up on a tightrope
But then we paused to realize
We all have the same big eyes

Do you remember all those days
When you thought you had it all
And you thought it was the life
Though you struggled hard for strife
Such a hard fall to take
When you used to be up there
Where eagles they might dare
Living your life and dreams out way up

High up on a tightrope
We were juggling many things
Never needed wings
Yeah we were high up on a tightrope
But then we paused to realize
We all have the same big eyes
