Preserving life is as good as dying

The lines we walk are paper thin

To live like this could take its toll

But you’re no stranger

To the high of almost getting there

Are we losing touch or taking hold?

Fm Ab

And these could be the best or darkest days

Cm Bb

The lines we walk are paper thin

And we could pull this off or push away
