I woke up before the sun
Chased your ghost across the yard
Through the fog and tumbling dark ´til you were gone
Virginia
I can hardly breathe
I´ve forgotten how to sleep
And your face still haunts my dreams when I´m alone

So now I´m walking on a tightrope wire
Too far off the ground
I´m imagining the words you said when last I saw your mouth

Yes
I´m walking on a tightrope wire
So afraid to fall
And I´d tell you that I miss you but I´m sure it doesn´t matter at all

The things I gave away
They´re not coming back for me
Should´ve learned from my mistakes but I never do
As I lay here all alone I hang up before I call
And admit to all my faults to pass the time

So now I´m walking on a tightrope wire
Too far off the ground
I´m imagining the words you said when last I saw your mouth

Yes
I´m walking on a tightrope wire
So afraid to fall
And I´d tell you that I miss you but I´m sure it doesn´t matter at all

There´s a place we used to go
Today I went alone
If there´s a message in this song
Well I don´t know

So now I´m walking on a tightrope wire
Too far off the ground
I´m imagining the words you said when last I saw your mouth

Yes
I´m walking on a tightrope wire
So afraid to fall
And I´d tell you that I miss you but I´m sure

So now I´m walking on a tightrope wire
Too far off the ground
I´m imagining the words you said when last I saw your mouth

Yes
I´m walking on a tightrope wire
So afraid to fall
And I´d tell you that I miss you but I´m sure
And I´d tell you that I miss you but I´m sure it doesn´t matter at all
