Close call

It was a close call
on the telephone
sometimes words are like lemmings
and I should have known
we were horseshoes and hand grenades
but you were so afraid
you know you were about to fall

 but it was a close call...

 It was a close call
like fight or flight
c'mon over a little closer
are you afraid of heights?
horseshoes and hand grenades
don't look down, don't be afraid
you were about to fall
 but it was a close call...

 if you want to play it safe, baby
you may be slow on the uptake maybe
we could settle down, don't look down
you could hit the ground
you could fall...

 but it was a close call...
