Story Behind The Song

I have always been intrigued by the fact that someone that you love can also make you so angry and the line between love and hate that seems to exist in most relationships at least passionate ones. I wanted to write about a relationship I experienced which fit into this category perfectly.

Song Description

The fine line between love and hate in a romantic relationship.

Lyrics

Tightrope

I was too young and you were too wild

I felt numb inside you seemed so alive

Along came those lonely nights
Nights you can’t do anything right

Little did I know
I was falling fast and sinking in your soul

I was walkin’ the tightrope
Thin line between love and hate
High flyin’ without a net
It shouldn’t be so complicated
Oh-----oh-----oh

Deserted here the earth kept spinin’ ‘round
You didn’t seem to care silly girl unknown town

But I thought the glue would hold tight
Thought we’d conquer everything in sight

Little did I know
I was fallin’ fast and sinking in your soul

Chorus

You just wanted to keep me down
Turn my back and you’d push me to the ground
Were you scared I’d make to the other side?

When I found legs and a place to breathe
I rose up a flower from a seed

But I guess I grew a bit too much
And the pink slippers couldn’t grip enough

Little did I know
I had fallen through the dark side
Fallen through the dark side of your soul
Oh---/oh---/ooh---
