Man On A Wire

from Turn Up The Dark by David Backshell

/

lyrics

Here I go again staring down the barrel
As your taillights commit me to memory
How did I end up screaming hell to heaven
With the echoes of my feet my only company
I've been chasing a lost highway
Smoke in my lungs and my heart's pumping lead
Lift my sights and I can't seem to see
Anyone waiting in the wings for me

Sinking into me is the sting of familiarity
And I miss you all the time

I can tell if the things that come to me
Are parts of my dreams or my memories
But I'm getting old, I'm so tired
I feel like a man on a wire

Sinking into me is the sting of familiarity
And I miss you all the time
