Lyrics:

I wanna take so far

but they don't want to let us out

But they do, they do, they do

I don't wanna walk on that highwire

They ain't gonna let us down

But they do, they do, they do

What I could never believe in

I was never really even

And I forgot about the cost

And then I got lost, I got lost, I got lost, I got lost

Didn't really wanna live it over
