The sound of your whisper in my ear fades into light
It feels like a memory to be made at the edge of night
And I hold on though your words may have been a lie
And I won't lose my head
Cuz I'm walkin' on wire
And it don't mean a thing
Gonna get a little closer
Nothing's in our way
But my heart is on fire
And I'm still holdin' back
But would you get a little close to me?
Maybe we'll never even talk about that night
It still seems that I can't even get you off my mind
Still I hold on though your words may have been a lie
And I won't lose my head
Cuz I'm walkin' on wire
And it don't mean a thing
Gonna get a little closer
Nothing's in our way
But my heart is on fire
And I'm still holdin' back
But would you get a little close to me?
'Til I opened up my eyes and saw what you were like
Underneath the city lights
And then you were gone
You left me in an open door
I'm standing with a burning torch
And I'm not sure what I'm looking for
But I, I'm not givin' up
And I won't lose my head
Cuz I'm walkin' on wire
And it don't mean a thing
Gonna get a little closer
Nothing's in our way
But my heart is on fire
And I'm still holdin' back
But would you get a little close to me?
