Don't Look Down

"Don't Look Down" is a duet written and performed by Laura Marano as Ally Dawson and Ross Lynch as Austin Moon in the episode, Costumes & Courage during the Starr Records Halloween Party. It is the first song featured in Season 2 and it is also the first song that Austin & Ally sing together. In real life, the song was written by Matthew Tishler and Robyn Newman.

Lyrics
Austin: Yeah Woah I'm walking on a thin line And my hands are tied Got no where to hide

I'm standing at a crossroad 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 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: But I'm not that girl who go turn my back There’s no turning back

Both: No turning back

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

Austin: It’s like I’m 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: Dooowwwnnn!) 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!
