Lyrics
I'm walking on a wire
I feel like I'm in a precarious situation
Twisting in the wind
Feeling unsettled or uncertain
And something here is dying
Something important is fading or ending
And I could use a friend
Seeking companionship or support
But it ain't you
You're not the one who can provide what I need
It ain't you
I repeat that it's not you who can help
It ain't you
Emphasizing that the person being addressed is not the solution
Another car crash sunrise
A destructive or difficult start to the day
Is burning up my street
The start of the day is chaotic or troubled
Above the call of sirens
Despite chaos, there's a distant hopeful voice
Someone sings to me
Receiving a message or solace from an unexpected source
But it ain't you
Reaffirming that the person addressed is not the solution
It ain't you
Repetition emphasizing the point
It ain't you
Stressing that the individual is not the answer
It ain't you
Continuing to emphasize the lack of connection or help
Tonight I'll walk on water
Expressing determination to do something extraordinary
Tonight I'll leap through flame
Willingness to face danger or challenges
And sing it to the corner
Sharing experiences with others despite personal risk
And still the blood in your veins
Recognition of the presence of the addressed person
'Til something flickers in me
A sense of hope or inspiration emerging
I feel the motion of light
Sensing change or progress
And slip into the distance
Fading away from current circumstances
And someone lips in my life
A significant person enters life
But it ain't you
Reiteration that the person addressed isn't the answer
It ain't you
Continued emphasis on the lack of connection or help
It ain't you
Reaffirmation that the individual isn't the solution
It ain't you
Reiteration that the person isn't the one to provide what's needed
