I've been a disappointment from time to time
I'm prone to swing at mirrors
I interrupt slow talkers
And I need everyone to like me
But I won't fail you when I walk out on the wire
No, I won't fail you when I walk out on the wire
No, I won't fail you when I walk out on the wire
No, I won't fail you when I walk out on the wire
ย
There's nothin' I can say, but I'm sorry now
I'll try to make it up to you somehow
But I'm no better than I'll ever be
I'm just a beggar down here on my knees
I won't fail you when I walk out on the wire
No, I won't fail you when I walk out on the wire
No, I won't fail you when I walk out on the wire
No, I won't fail you when I walk out on the wire
It's weighed and (it's weighed and)
It's measured (it's measured)
It is the sum of all of life's sufferin' and pleasures
And it's laid out (it's laid out)
For the taking (for the taking)
And the song is the sound of your heart breaking
Are you listenin'?
I'm listenin'
ย
No, I won't fail you when I walk out on the wire
No, I won't fail you when I walk out on the wire
No, I won't fail you when I walk out on the wire
No, I won't fail you when I walk out on the wire
When I walk out on the wire (walk out on the wire)
(Walk out on the wire) oh
(Walk out on the wire) walk out on the wire
(Walk out on the wire) oh, walk out on the wire
