Tightrope Lyrics - Sara Bareilles

[Verse 1] 

Some people long for a life that is simple and planned, tied with a ribbon 

Some people won't sail the sea, 'cause they're safer on land 

To follow what's written but I'd follow you to the great unknown 

Off to a world we call our own 

[Chorus] 

Hand in my hand and we promise to never let go 

We're walking a tightrope 

High in the sky we can see the whole world down below 

We're walking a tightrope 

Never sure, never know how far we could fall

[Post-Chorus] 

But it's all an adventure that comes with a breathtaking view 

Walking a tightrope with you 

[Verse 2] 

Mountains and valleys and all that will come in between 

Desert and ocean 

You pulled me in and together we're lost in a dream 

Oh, he's in motion so I risk it all 

Just to be with you 

And I'll risk it all for this life we choose 

Photos 

[Chorus] 

Hand in my hand and you promise to never let go 

We're walking a tightrope 

High in the sky we can see the whole world down below 

We're walking a tightrope 

Never sure, but you catch me if I should fall 

[Post-Chorus] 

Well, it's all an adventure that comes with a breathtaking view 

Walking the tightrope with you
