You are a darkened page
Somewhere that I like to stay
But you teach me a traveling song 'cause I never arrive
I miss the way we were then
The best kind of contradiction
Simple and steadfast, childlike intuition

You are the love that I carry
Turns out holding the way keeps me steady
If I am a tightrope walker
You are the line that I walk upon
You are the line that I walk upon

Drive home, the freckles of mine
I'm scattered like them most of the time
You're the wind coming through the window and messing my hair
Same on me, shame on you
For thinking that I could prove
The way that I felt watching the snow fall

You are the love that I carry
Turns out holding the way keeps me steady
If I am a tightrope walker
You are the line that I walk upon
You are the line that I walk upon

It's the only way I call you mine
You're the only way I know to find
It's the only way I call you mine
Held within the tension in my mind
It's the only way I call you mine
You're the only way I know to find
It's the only way I call you mine
Held within the tension in my mind

Hey
You are the line that I walk upon
You are the line that I walk upon
