Some life analogy as well as real place in Glasgow...

I've been holding on forever
tightrope walking on my own
waiting on the better weather
so I can find my own way home

Standing on the edge of Hope Street
Empty pavements out of sight
just a picture of an old scene
we call it black and white

Are you holding out for heaven?
Better give it your best shot
I'm still trying to keep my head on
Still walking on the spot

Still looking up
Stop looking down
Still looking up...

Heart's unsteady
(can't get high)
Not born ready
(can't get high)
Heart's unsteady
(can't get high)
God knows I try

Standing on the edge of Hope Street
better give it my best shot
I'm just trying to keep my head on
still walking on the spot

Heart's unsteady
(can't get high)
Not born ready
(can't get high)
Heart's unsteady
(can't get high)
God knows I've tried

Hope Street
