	Story Behind the Song The motivation for this song was Tara's feeling of being "caught on a wire" as in a tightrope walker. Her feeling was that she didn't know what decision to make between leaving her boyfriend or not. She felt that she was caught in the space of indecision and paralyzed to make a move either forward or backward. It took 1 week to write this song. It was written at Tara's old home in San Rafael, California. It took 1 hour to record. All of Tara's vocals took were recorded in the first tape except for one word. The drums and piano were also recorded during the first take. The guitar and backup vocals were recorded 3 or 4 takes. Tara usually plays her own guitar but due to her anxiety and lack of funds to stay at the studio longer, she had Ashley play the guitar for her. The guitar is played a bit differently than on this recording, but not much. Tara was uninhibited singing in the studio, but nervous about her guitar performance. She ended up staying with her boyfriend and now sees the song can relate to any indecision! This was the second song Tara wrote. Lyrics VERSE 1 Slippin' through the fields Seein' all that's real Rolling right or wrong I must grow on I can't help what I feel The winds are blowin' still Flyin' low in the night Merging with the moonlight CHORUS Caught on a wire Caught on a wire I don't want to go down I don't want to let you down Caught in the fire Caught in the fire I don't want to burn out I don't want to burn you out VERSE 2 Shedding all of my lies Feeling almost pretty Swim the dream so softly Learning you know is costly I could carry you along But the string on your kite is far too long Trusting the voices in my heart Twisting and falling off the line REPEAT CHORUS
