lyrics

walking a wire
with our hearts strung on the line
blind by desire
if I fall it's by design

everyone I know has gone up in smoke
I'm alone
there's no looking backwards
make like a stone and roll on

love unrequited
how we yearn for what we cannot own
freedom has many forms
liberate me in bondage

lost in all the looks that we steal
hard to know what's right
much less what's real
darling this feels like a dream
but I'm not high
and I'm not asleep yet

everyone we know has gone up in smoke
we're alone
there's no looking backwards
make like a stone and roll on
nothing to show
but two broken souls on the road
let's see where it leads us
finding what frees us

hey, I'm excited
I believe we've turned a corner
drunk on imbibing
all the sweet with bitter
