Young The Giant – Tightrope lyrics
[Verse 1]
When I was just a boy
My momma told me, “Son
You look so serious”
When I was seventeen
My father let me know
“Life isn’t fun and games”

[Pre-Chorus]
I don’t know how I ended up
So close to where I started
I went to war for peace of mind
But what’s it for?

[Chorus]
I’m dancing on a tightrope
No time to mess around
Just trying to let my mind go
I’m never coming down

[Verse 2]
I found a preacher man
To help me understand
What we are doing here
And now the years have passed
Been to the moon and back
And all I’ve realised

[Pre-Chorus]
I don’t know how I ended up
So close to where I started
I went to war for peace of mind
But what’s it for?

[Chorus]
I’m dancing on a tightrope
No time to mess around
Just trying to let my mind go
I’m never coming down

I’m never coming down
I’m never coming down

[Bridge]
Teachers always say stay in between the lines
Promise you’ll be quiet if you can’t say something nice
Doctors always say take these pills for your health
But now I can’t remember how to think for myself

[Chorus]
I’m dancing on a tightrope
No time to mess around
Just trying to let my mind go
I’m never coming down
