Wire Lyrics - Everything I've Got In My Pocket - Minnie Driver

Living on a wire 

The sight of you could save my skin 

And the sun is in my eyes 

And the breeze lifts the hair from my neck 

So precariously 

I am inching my way across my life 

I could fall if you don't call 

A sick safety net appears when I see you 

Oh, I climb so high 

Waiting to fall 

How does it go down 

When you're the biggest kid in your own playground? 

And how do you see me? 

How do I fit in your hierarchy? 

Oh, you tell the girls line up in single file 

Just gotta rearrange my denial 

That now I play with you 

And now I see all the shit that isn't me 

I'm too relieved to be mad, relieved and sad 

I misplaced my mind 

Thought it was lost and now I find 

You were just very, very unkind 

You know I always found 

That my feet were dangling looking for solid ground 

Is it maybe worth closing down the Ivory Tower 

And coming back down to earth? 

Oh, I, I climb so high 

Waiting to fall 

And then I cry like a child 

On a neverending ride 

Waiting to fall 

Oh, I, I climb so high 

Waiting to fall 

And then I cry, like a child 

On a neverending ride 

Waiting to fall 

No, I 

No, I 

Waiting to fall 

Waiting to fall
