Don't you give up don't allow disaster

Don't you give up don't you let her win

We're talking about a "forever after"

Don't you give up don't you dare give in

Don't you give up don't you dare give in



Doesn't it seem most precarious

Doesn't it seem such a chance to take

Doesn't it seem most precarious

Why does it feel like a big mistake



Please understand and hear what I'm saying

The time is now and you don't have long

She could be oceans away tomorrow

So soon your chance will have come and gone

So soon your chance will have come and gone



Doesn't it seem most precarious

Doesn't it seem such a chance to take

Doesn't it seem most precarious

Why does it feel like a big mistake



The tight-wires strung and you're out in the middle

All eyes upon you no net below

Inches to go and you're almost home free

Feel the wires swaying to and fro

Feel the wires swaying to and fro



Doesn't it seem most precarious

Doesn't it seem such a chance to take

Doesn't it seem most precarious

Why does it feel like it would be a damn shame

Would be forever if it meant a day

How stoically I exclaim

As she turns from me and walks away



The light in her eyes explanation escapes you

Longing to please and not feel alone

And she doesn't know it but really she loves you

Some day so soon you're gonna make it home

Some day so soon you're gonna make it home



Doesn't it seem most precarious

Doesn't it seem such a chance to take

Doesn't it seem most precarious

Why does it feel like a big mistake



Doesn't it seem most precarious

Doesn't it seem such a chance to take

Doesn't it seem most precarious

Why does it feel like a big mistake
