[Verse 1]
Ticking like a time bomb
I don’t know if I want
Anything
If there’s a sting
Building up a brave face
A fatalistic arms race
Call my bluff
It’s not enough
Call my bluff
It’s not enough
[Chorus]
Cos I’m walking on a tightrope
I don’t want to let go
Saying I won’t make a sound
Or turn around
Tightrope
I don’t want to let go
Tell myself that I’m not bound
To common ground
[Vamp]
No I’m not givin’ it up
I know my skin is tough
No I’m not givin’ it up
Cos your signal’s breakin’ up
[Verse 2]
Saving up to showcase
Tired of this rat race
Caught somewhere
Inside a square
Copy what you dictate
Forge a broken failsafe
Try my luck
It’s not enough
Try my luck
It’s not enough
[Chorus]
Tightrope
I don’t want to let go
Saying I won’t make a sound
Or turn around
Tightrope
I don’t want to let go
Tell myself that I’m not bound
To common ground
[Bridge]
Tightrope (oh)
Let go (oh)
[Chorus 3] x2
Tightrope
I don’t wanna let go
Saying I won’t make a sound
Or turn around
Tightrope I don’t wanna let go
Tell myself that I’m not bound
To common ground
