lyrics

Edge of the World

You say hello
In my car in a parking lot.
So much to say, we don't talk, it's absurd
and scary to move when you're perched at the edge of the world.

What if I fall?
Oh, but my darling, what if you fly, what if you fly?
Wish I could hold,
hold you close in my arms like I do in my mind.
Maybe next life
around.

You turn away,
Run your hand through your hair and wait.
Rain outside falls angry and fast,
Hitting walls you built in your heart I don't seem to get past.

What if I fall?
Oh, but my darling, what if you fly, what if you fly?
Wish I could hold,
hold you close in my arms like I do in my mind.
Maybe next life
around.

I try to smile,
change my mind and sit next to you, quiet.
Smoke in your eyes or cigarette ash
I watch you open the door and look over the edge.

What if I go?
Oh, but my darling, what if you stay, what if you stay?
Wish you would hold,
hold me close in your arms somewhere someday.
Maybe we'll be
okay.
