Young The Giant - Tightrope Lyrics
When I was just a boy
My momma told me "Son:
You look so serious
Smile and have some fun"
When I was seventeen
"Life isn't fun and games
Gotta sell your soul!"
I don't know how I ended up
So close to where I started
I went to war for peace of mind
What was it for?
I'm dancing on a tightrope
No time to mess around
I'm never coming down
I found a preacher man
To help me understand
What we are doing here
What comes after life?
And now the years have passed
Been to the moon and back
And all I've realized
No one knows a thing
I don't know how I ended up
So close to where I started
I went to war for peace of mind
What was it for?
I'm dancing on a tightrope
No time to mess around
Just trying to let my mind go
I'm never coming down
I'm never coming down
I'm never coming down
Teachers always say stay in between the lines
Momma said be quiet if you can't say something nice
Doctors always say take these pills for your health
But now I can't remember how to think for myself
I'm dancing on a tightrope
No time to mess around
Just trying to let my mind go
I'm never coming down
I'm never coming down
I'm never coming down

The guitar riff sounds the guitar riff from red hot chili peppers song "turn it again"
I want to break out my Riedells and roller skate to this song.
This is such an indie/alternative bop

Repost if...
-You always hear your name even when if it's not being called.
-You hate hearing your voice in recordings.
-You use the word "thingy" when you can't remember what something is called.
-You pretend you're writing in class so the teacher won't call on you.
-You say the entire alphabet because you can't remember what letter comes next.
-You and your best friend can say one word and crack up.
-You hate it when one of your hoodie strings is longer than the other.
-You hate it when someone thinks you like someone when you clearly don't.
-You hate it when your favorite song comes on as you pull in the driveway.
-You feel like if you turn on the lights, you'll be safe from anything.
-You push those little buttons on the lids of fast-food drinks.
-You love it when you tell a guy to shut up and they copy you in a higher voice and you both start laughing.
reposted from the last song that was on my autoplay
One of the most versatile bands from alt rock anthems like my body, to funky pop like this, and all of it is amazing.
Feels to be inspired by MJ
Love with a Capital L

Vaporwavy at the end there, niiiice!
These cats smoke...Killed it in ATL 10/27/18! I'm a fan now. IT'S MY DAUGHTERS FAULT! Love these guys. I want to open for them...Lol.
Beginning drum beat and top hat... Sounds like MJ
The opening reminds me of Brothers in Rhythm Group Therapy Mix of Closest Thing to Heaven by Tears for Fears.
Every time I hear this song I think of them walking and dancing on a tightrope and then at the end of the song they just step down only to realize they were right above ground the whole time.
"Spinning on repeat"
Dancing at 5:30 am XD
This song is teaching me how to dance!
I lowkey thought this was a cover of a paramore song
Wow, I just discovered this band. Youtube suggested this song after Bad Suns, and I loveee it :D

I work tomorrow early in the a.m. and all I can think of is how this song gonna wake my ass up, and how I'm gonna learn the fortnite and bust it out at the Crystal Ball Room... assuming you play this.
I thought Billy Jean was gonna start playing for a second 😏
