Some people long for a life that is simple and planned

Eliza Schuyler sat, staring out of the window, remembering her childhood where daily chores were her only concern.

Tied with a ribbon
Some people won't sail the sea 'cause they're safer on land
To follow what's written

Eliza stood up and glanced at a painting of her family. Her father, mother, siblings, husband, and son, smiling like they were the happiest people in the world.

But I'd follow you to the great unknown

It was times like these, Eliza wished she was a male as to join her Alex in the battlefield.

Off to a world we call our own

Eliza remembered when Alex was sent home and they sat, hand in hand, in the garden, relishing each other's company.

Hand in my hand
And we promised to never let go
We're walking a tightrope

Eliza remembered their wedding, the day they promised to be there for each other through thick and thin, through sick and heath, and forever till death do they part.

High in the sky
We can see the whole world down below
We're walking a tightrope

Eliza loved the feeling of freedom and with Alex... she was soaring.

Never sure, never know how far we could fall

And if her Alex.. if he hurt her, she would be broken...

But it's all an adventure
That comes with a breathtaking view

But for now...

Walking a tightrope with you
With you
With you

She would be happy with him.

Mountains and valleys, and all that will come in between
Desert and ocean

Eliza opened a window and stared in the direction she thought the continental army was camped.

You pulled me in and together we're lost in a dream

When they had first met, Eliza was lost in his gorgeous eyes. She still was.

Always in motion

Alex twirling and twirling her around in their living room until they were both too dizzy to continue, then collapse onto the couch, laughing.

So I risk it all just to be with you

Her father's disapproving glare when he met Alex for the first time.

And I risk it all for this life we choose

Her father wanted her to court a snobby rich guy that could support their family, but she chose Alex.

Hand in my hand
And you promised to never let go
We're walking a tightrope

When Alex got called to action he had kissed her hand and promised to stay alive- for her, for his unborn son.

High in the sky
We can see the whole world down below
We're walking a tightrope

Never sure. Will you catch me if I should fall?

Eliza had seen her parents' marriage fall apart, and hoped that wouldn't happen to her and Alex.

Well, it's all an adventure
That comes with a breathtaking view

But for now, Alex would be there for her. She knew it.

Walking a tightrope with you

And she would be there for him.

With you
With you
With you
With you
With you

Now I wanna write a book :(
