High-Wire Moves Songtext
von Polvo

We′re just a shadow like an embassy intern
Never forget the way the cold floor burns
Working for customs in the comfort of bonfire
Never forget the way the acrobat learns

There was a time I thought you would
It was a fantasy that wasn't meant to be
There was a time I thought you could
Become the enemy, bring me back

A gift from a diplomat
Tell me what it is and I will change it back
Oh no, you′re not a diplomat
You're just an acrobat practicing high wire moves
Practicing high wire moves

I'll be the chalkboard wall you can draw on
Don′t stop until the chalk′s all gone
And I'm your figure in a picture but halfway too gone
Will you believe that I′m struggling to


Why should I care when you think that the voice I chase
Is nothing special in the first place
Picture a barbed wire bridge and approach if you dare

We're just a shadow like an embassy intern
Never forget the way the cold floor burns
Working for customs in the comfort of bonfire
Never forget the way the acrobat learns

There was a time I thought you would
It was a fantasy that wasn′t meant to be
There was a time I thought you could
Become the enemy, bring me back

A gift from a diplomat
Tell me what it is and I will change it back
Oh no, you're not a diplomat
You′re just an acrobat practicing high wire moves
Practicing high wire moves

I'll be the chalkboard wall you can draw on
Don't stop until the chalk′s all gone


Why should I care when you think that the voice I chase
Is nothing special in the first place
Picture a barbed wire bridge and approach if you dare
I′ll meet you halfway there
Just 'cause I′m halfway there
