    Backstory:
    Demo need                                                                   
    I wrote this song when gathering ideas for children picture books. In second grade we had a pretend circus. I was pick for the tight rope and I pretended on the balance beam. I wanted to be the circus ring leader but I was chose the tightrope. It's also the music business. Everyone don't know its hard to pitch one song. It's so competitive, you never know how many people just want to pitch a song. We think of the artist but now freelance artists are able to displace their music but a songwriter and not performer still has this problem. Someone has to pick your song. It's becoming a demand to be the artist or just give up the dream.  So I got walking in air. The feel of walking on broken class metaphor of how dangerous it is . As walking on glass is like walking on coals heated with fire. A person walking on a tight rope is very dangerous as thou not cracking an eggshells with your foot. You will get cut like glass, harm your body like fire burning if you fall to your death.

    Verse: This relationship is a circus I try to keep my balance This girl act this girl act I'm acrobat trying to be the best A ballerina on her toes I get so weak on this wire That I can't see I might not vision all the time in front of me Chorus: I could miss and fall I wish you was here It feels like I'm walking on air Sometime I feel like I'm on broken glass Verse I can share this umbrella Somehow you keep slacking Did you forget we on this tightrope together I get no praise with all the shame How can we last forever Maybe I'm making you a man you will never be You get so anxious I got be strong to perform You might not see All the time in front of me Chorus: I could miss and fall I wish you was here It feels like I'm walking on air Sometime I feel like I'm on broken glass It feels like I'm on a tightrope with you Bridge You make it hard to give up All though I threw in the towel I don't want to swing from this rope My heart refuse to let go Chorus: I could miss and fall I wish you was here It feels like I'm walking on air Sometime I feel like I'm on broken glass It feels like I'm on a tightrope with you
