Pirouetting through your gaze
Tiptoe through the gloomy haze
Of the feelings that surround you
Vault into your point of view
Think I know just what to do
Forgetting it's impossible
Keep all these thoughts in my head
That's why I'm always misread
Must be talking to myself
Cause I don't hear no one else
Now watch me dangle from the tightrope
Keep all these thoughts in my head
That's why I'm always struggling
And I wanna do my part
But I'm doomed from the start
Now watch me dangle from the tightrope
Ring around the rose again
Lie to all your closest friends
About what's bubbling inside you
Fall too many times to count
I know what you're all about
Ignoring what's in front of you
Keep all these thoughts in my head
That's why I'm always misread
Must be talking to myself
Cause I don't hear no one else
Now watch me dangle from the tightrope
Keep all these thoughts in my head
That's why I'm always struggling
And I wanna do my part
But I'm doomed from the start
Now watch me dangle from the tightrope
Oh and I just don't know what to do
When all these thoughts come back to you
Climbing up the walls trying to make this all my fault
Now watch me dangle from the tightrope
