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 (x2)



Chorus: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 (x2)



(chorus)



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 at to and fro (x2)



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 I 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 (x2)



(chorus x2)
