the other side of the Tightrope
a response parody to Tightrope by Michelle Williams from the perspective of P. T. Barnum (Hugh Jacman)
We had this old perfect life that was fun and involved
But steady and solid
Right on the line between crazy and crazy in love
Then I went and lost it
Cuz I gave it all for the great unknown
I’m out in the world, but I’m on my own
Far away now
But we promised to never let go
Now I’m on the tightrope
High in the sky
And the whole world is watching below
I’m out on the tightrope
Never sure, would they save me or watch me fall?
But it's all an adventure
That comes with a breathtakin' view
Out on the tightrope
For you, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
For you, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
For you
Mountains and valleys and everything came in between (us)
Me and my ambitions
I got pulled in, now I’m too far gone chasing the dream
I had a vision
So I risked it all, said it was for you
But I realize now, it’s not the life you’d choose
So far gone now
But I promised to never let go
Out on the tightrope
High in the sky
And the whole world is watching below
I’m out on the tightrope
Never sure, would you still be there when I fall?
It was all an adventure
Now I’ve lost the breathtaking view
I came out here on the tightrope
For you, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
For you, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
For you
For you, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
