When I need you beside me, I can do things to myself I regret My thoughts become distant, my mind turns everything right on its head I search in vain for the positive, to stop all the demons from talking aloud It's not that I'm lost, it's just there are times i don't want to be found I'm feeling my way One step at a time I know that you're there But I can't always find you The next thing I know The circus begins And I'm walking along Doing anything not to look down Don't let go of my hand, I'm doing anything not to look down Don't let go of my hand, I'm doing anything not to look down When I need you beside me, at times I'm afraid 'cause I don't know the cost I focus my thoughts, or at least those that I hope I can trust I start to feel all the maybes slowly spiral inside of my chest Guess I'm no good at perspective so I should admit this is what i do best I'm feeling my way One step at the time I know that you're there But I can't always find you The next thing I know The circus begins And I'm walking along Doing anything not to look down Don't let go of my hand, I'm doing anything not to look down Don't let go of my hand, I'm doing anything not to look down Don't let go of my hand, I'm doing anything not to look down Don't let go of my hand, I'm doing anything not to look down
