Lyrics

Staring in the flashing lights Waiting as the cars drive by There's a man on the street with his hands held high Fires across the sky Tuesday Burning through the trees that sway The fall turns black and the gold turns grey Broke down from holding out the silence, left to bleed Calling out the sirens to the scene But as the hands draw back to shield their eyes Another one slowly passes by But I won't leave you out on a high line I won't leave you stuck in the middle I won't leave you out on a high line I'll be your last call when your lifeline slips away Reading through the black and white Tearing down the pointing signs There's a smile at the end of a closing wire And all the children stop and say "Why's it gotta be this way?" But the priest can't hide what his words won't say Cutting ties from living life with letters left unseen Pulling out the stitches at the seams But as the hands reach out to mend the lines Another one slowly passes by But I won't leave you out on a high line I won't leave you stuck in the middle I won't leave you out on a high line I'll be your last call when your lifeline slips away I stared down the marble floor And saw that the lonely heart passed over through the chapel door And if my hands could ever reach the sky I never would let them pass you by But I won't leave you out on a high line I won't leave you stuck in the middle I won't leave you out on a high line But as the hands reach out to say goodbye Another one slowly passes by I won't leave you out on a high line I won't leave you stuck in the middle I won't leave you out on a high line I'll be your last call when your lifeline slips away
