Make It Without You

There's a rope around my waist, around the tree, over the cliff
And you're hanging like a leaf in the wind
I say "Let me run for help." You say "No, it's you and me on this one
Then no one will know the fix I'm in."
And you say but it's alright, it's alright, it's alright
If you don't come through, I'll make it without you

You say "Will you be my counterweight, then you'll be hanging, I'll be safe
I'll tie you to my bumper, pull you up"
So I pass you on my way down, then my ears ring with the bitter sound
Of the disappearing engine of your truck
And I say but it's alright, it's alright, it's alright
If you don't come through, I'll make it without you

What goes around
Comes around
If you let me down
It's you who's gonna hit the ground

I can't believe you would
I can't believe you would
Yes I believe you would

There's a rope around my waist, tied to the tree, over the cliff
And I fight my way up hand over hand
Then a long walk on the fire road, thinking who you kissed and who you told
And how my voice will freeze you where you stand
When I say it's alright, it's alright, it's alright
If you don't come through, I'll make it without you
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright
You don't come through, and I make it without you

And what goes around
Comes around
If you let me down
It's you who's gonna hit the ground
What goes around (comes around)
