Echo Garden - Tears On The Wire Lyrics

Up on the wire, I'm barely awake,
The silence below makes my heart ache.
Every step feels heavy tonight,
I used to love it, now it don't feel right.
The wind whispers stories of what could have been,
I'm lost in the middle, between fall and the end.
The rope feels too thin, my balance unsure,
I keep moving forward, but I'm not so pure.
Tears on the wire, I'm dancing with fear,
No one can see, but I wish you were here.
The higher I go, the lonelier it seems,
Walking a line between broken dreams.
I fly without wings, but it's not the same,
In the sky, I whisper your name.
The spotlight is cold, the crowd fades away,
I smile on the outside, but I'm starting to fray.
Each step is a tremble, each breath a sigh,
I wonder if they know how hard it is to try.
The night pulls me closer, the stars out of reach,
I thought I'd be stronger, but it's hard to preach.
The safety net's gone, but I don't even care,
Caught in this space, suspended in air.
Tears on the wire, I'm dancing with fear,
No one can see, but I wish you were here.
The higher I go, the lonelier it seems,
Walking a line between broken dreams.
I fly without wings, but it's not the same,
In the sky, I whisper your name.
I don't want to fall, but I don't want to stay,
The wind's calling out, pulling me away.
I'm searching for peace, somewhere in the night,
But here on the wire, there's no end in sight.
Tears on the wire, I'm dancing with fear,
No one can see, but I wish you were here.
The higher I go, the lonelier it seems,
Walking a line between broken dreams.
I fly without wings, but it's not the same,
In the sky, I whisper your name.
Up on the wire, I'm fading inside,
A tightrope walker with nowhere to hide.
