you try so hard to hold the sun,
your hands get in the way,
block the light and leave you left cold and alone,
i dont ever want to wake up the way you did that day,
holding sheets over the hole in your heart,

wait your life alone,
as if some sudden streak of luck would set things right,
and everytime you think that its there it doesnt hold,

hanging there,
baby i saw you there,
tripping on awkward words like your mouth was full,
all my fear i know that it wont compare,
to living your high wire life like the line that would hold,

powerless i cant help you out you stay in bed all day,
please admit that it might not be your fault,
try so hard to prove myself that we just dont compare,
to living your high hire life like the line that would hold,

you try so hard to hold up the sun,
your hands get in the way,
would you even know who you are,
if you just let go,

hanging there,
baby i saw you there,
tripping on awkwards words like you mouth was full,
but all my fear you know that it wont compare,
to living your high wire life like youd never fall....
