《Down To The Wire》是加拿大歌手尼爾·楊於1977年創作並演唱的搖滾歌曲，收錄於其精選輯《Decade》。該曲最初錄製於1968年前後，存在單聲道版本，後作為檔案錄音被收錄於《Neil Young Archives, Vol. 1: 1963-1972》合輯。
歌曲以重複的"down to the wire"為核心意象，通過燃燒的觸感與虛幻承諾的對比，刻畫人際關係中信任瓦解的動態過程。藍調搖滾的基底配合漸進加速的節奏編排，戲劇化呈現情感瀕臨崩潰的張力，多聲部合唱設計則暗喻集體共鳴。歌詞通過記憶閃回與反諷性自省，揭示親密關係中的背叛與自我消耗，形成層層遞進的情感敘事。

歌曲歌詞
Every time you touch her
sets your hands on fire
And every thing you've got
is all that she requires
on And you hang on hang on hang on
to the words of a liar
You can feel it getting
down to the wire
All the hurt you thought was gone
has now returned
And every thing she's laughing at
is all you learned
And you let go let go let go
cause you know you're getting tired
Can you feel it getting
down to the wire
Take the time to close your
eyes and look around
Cause anyone who helped you out
can let you down
And look out look out look out
the voice is now the choir
Can you feel it getting
down to the wire
