Who'd've thought that I'd be here by myself
Who'd've thought that you'd be bad for my health
Now I know, now I know
I'm just a man on a wire, oh
Who'd've thought I'd be the cause and effect?
Your steady love is not tomorrow's regret
Now I know, now I know
I'm just a man on a wire, oh
No I can't look down, I'm trying to fight the feeling
I will fall to the ground, if I ever see you
'Cause I feel like I'm walkin' a tight rope
And my heart is in my throat
I'm counting on high hopes
To get me over you
And I've got my eyes closed
As long as the wind blows
I'm counting on high hopes
To get me over you, you
'Cause I'm a man on a wire, on a wire
I'm a man on a wire, on a wire
Who'd've thought I'd see you with someone else
Who'd've thought that I'd be in such a mess
Now you know, now you know
I'm just a man on a wire, oh oh
When I walk that line, I try to keep my senses
Make it to the other side, I know the consequences
And I feel like I'm walkin' a tight rope
And my heart is in my throat
I'm counting on high hopes
To get me over you
And I've got my eyes closed
As long as the wind blows
I'm counting on high hopes
To get me over you, you
'Cause I'm a man on a wire, on a wire
I'm a man on a wire, on a wire
'Cause I'm a man on a wire, on a wire
'Cause I'm a man on a wire, on a wire
The higher I get
The more I miss the ground
Now safe than better
Now you're not around
I have to keep walking
To keep me from falling down, yeah
Feels like I'm walkin' a tight rope
And my heart is in my throat
I'm counting on high hopes
To get me over you
And I've got my eyes closed
As long as the wind blows
I'm counting on high hopes
To get me over you, you
'Cause I'm a man on a wire, on a wire
I'm a man on a wire, on a wire
I'm a man on a wire, on a wire
I'm a man on a wire, on a wire
