High In The Wires Lyrics - Singles - Flytape

I can see us wired in summertime 

Laughing, riding our bikes, committing the same crimes 

Not a lot to say just a few boys on their way 

To manhood or some other such play 

I can see us dreaming under red skies as we snuck around 

Meeting while the sprinklers sprayed, the police chased us around town 

Drinking that cheap box wine and a ripped-off case of Coors 

And the girls' eyes shone in the promise of a new night 

The promise of a new night 

But something must have been not quite right with you 

We're all a little crazy but we keep it inside 

And I was just about to show you a door 

But I guess you won't be needing that anymore 

I can pluck the taught strings of adolescence 

I can feel our laces break as we jump over that great fence 

Pot smoking, university-laden 

The mind can only hold so many things 

The mind can only hold so many things 

When you climbed those wires 

So high 

In a dive of honesty 

Did you think to ask me? 

Something must have been not quite right with you 

We're all a little crazy but we keep it to ourselves 

And I was just about to shut that front door 

And keep it to myself just once more 

So I sit alone, at my desk working 

Drive home in traffic, kiss my wife goodnight 

No one asks, no one inquires, 

If it was really me who pushed you from those wires 

Was it really me who pushed you from those wires?
