[Verse 1]

Who would have thought that i'd be here by myself

Who would have 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 would have thought about the cause and effect

Yesterday's love is now tomorrow's regret

Now I know, now I know I'm just a man on a wire, oh

[Pre-Chorus]

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

[Chorus]

I feel like I'm walking a tightrope

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

[Verse 2]

Who would have thought I'd see you with someone else

Who would have thought that I'd be in such a mess

Now you know, now you know I'm just a man on a wire, oh

[Pre-Chorus]

When I walk that line, I try to keep my senses

Make it to the other side, I know the consequences

And I

[Chorus]

Feel like I'm walking a tightrope

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

[Bridge]

The higher it gets, the more I miss the ground

No safety net, so now you're not around

I have to keep walking to keep me from falling down

[Chorus]

Feels like I'm walkin' on a tightrope

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

I'm a man on a wire, on a wire, yeah
