"Tightrope" lyrics

"Tightrope"

If I could melt the mountains and petrify the seas
Then I'd wake up to find that I was not who I should be
And if I could take the ballast and turn it into gold
Distribute all the pieces to the poor and the old

'Cause maybe it's not where you're at
Maybe it's not who you are
Maybe it's not all so bad
Maybe the night ain't so dark
Maybe the night ain't so dark

If I could walk a tightrope the way most folks do
Keep my eyes off the line and run the whole way through
If I could keep my balance, aim real steady and real true
Then I'd have never had the chance to fall so far for you

So maybe it's not where you're at
Maybe it's not who you are
Maybe it's not all so bad
Maybe the night ain't so dark
Maybe the night ain't so dark

And maybe I'm right where you are
Maybe I'm right where you are
Maybe I'm right where you are
Maybe I'm right where you are
Maybe I'm right where you are
Maybe I'm right where you are
Maybe I'm right where you are
