Babe i know you're weary Running out of time We don't know what we're missing Til it's on the headlines Babe i know you're working To figure this all out Sometimes you think you're going crazy Staring at missing pages It ain't the money or the fame or the thunder It ain't the memory of where you thought you'd be It's just that you feel like a tightrope walker You've gone too high to ever land back on your feet Babe i know you're waiting For something big to start Seems like endless complications Weighing down your heart It ain't the routines or the phone rings or the players You keep on moving towards where you need to be It's just sometimes there's no words to make it better And you want someone else to feel what you need Some people want you to fall You're gonna hold yourself steady Keep yourself loose and in balance Though you don't think you are ready It's just one foot in front of the other now It ain't the money or the fame or the thunder It ain't the memory of where you thought you'd be If you're gonna feel like a tightrope walker Start looking up and don't you look down at your feet Start looking up and don't you look down at your feet Start looking up and don't you look down at your feet
