Lyrics
Austin: Yeah

Whoa

I’m walking on a thin line And my hands are tied got nowhere to hide I’m standing at a cross road Don’t know where to go Feeling so exposed

Ally:

Yeah I'm caught

In between

Where I'm going and where I've been

But no There's no turning back

Yeah!

Both: It’s like I’m balanced on the edge It’s like I’m hanging by a thread But I’m still gonna push ahead

So I tell myself

Yeah, I tell myself

Don’t look down, down, down, down

Don’t look down, down, down, down Don’t look down, down, down, down

Austin: It’d be so easy Just to run It’d be so easy

To just give up

Ally:

___________________ There’s no turning back

Both: Yeah there’s no turning back

Ally: It’s like I’m balanced on the edge

Austin: It’s like I’m still hanging by a thread

Ally:

But I’m still gonna push ahead

So I tell myself Yeah I tell myself

Both:

Don’t look down, down, down, down (Ally: Doooowwwn!) Don’t look down, down, down, down

Don’t look down, down, down, down (Austin: Don't look down! Don't look down!) Don’t look down, down, down, down!

Trivia

 * This song is the first public duet of Austin Moon and Ally Dawson (even if the audience thought the latter was Taylor Swift). It is also the first full song for Ally.
 * This song was originally written to be performed as a solo, but after Taylor Swift hearing about it requested it to be a duet. She was knocked out by Dez before she got to perform and this forced Ally to take the stage (for the first time in a long time).
