Don't you give up don't allow disaster   Don't you give up don't you let her win   We're talking about a "forever after"   Don't you give up don't you dare give in   Don't you give up don't you dare give in      Doesn't it seem most precarious   Doesn't it seem such a chance to take   Doesn't it seem most precarious   Why does it feel like a big mistake      Please understand and hear what I'm saying   The time is now and you don't have long   She could be oceans away tomorrow   So soon your chance will have come and gone   So soon your chance will have come and gone      Doesn't it seem most precarious   Doesn't it seem such a chance to take   Doesn't it seem most precarious   Why does it feel like a big mistake      The tight-wires strung and you're out in the middle   All eyes upon you no net below   Inches to go and you're almost home free   Feel the wires swaying at to and fro   Feel the wires swaying at to and fro      Doesn't it seem most precarious   Doesn't it seem such a chance to take   Doesn't it seem most precarious   Why does it feel like it would be a damn shame   Would be forever if it meant a day   How stoically I exclaim   As she turns from me and walks away      The light in her eyes explanation escapes you   Longing to please and not feel alone   And she doesn't know it but really she loves you   Some day so soon you're gonna make it home   Some day so soon you're gonna make it home      Doesn't it seem most precarious   Doesn't it seem such a chance to take   Doesn't it seem most precarious   Why does it feel like a big mistake      Doesn't it seem most precarious   Doesn't it seem such a chance to take   Doesn't it seem most precarious   Why does it feel like a big mistake
