"Close To The Edge" lyrics

"Close To The Edge"

There there
Hey now
What's this I'm hearing about

The butterfly flew into the ground
One too many nets around
And you go to him like a mosquito to skin

I see you wanna be so close to the edge
And you're running
You're running
You're running without your feet

You believe there's a ground
If you step over
And you fall down
But there may not be

There there
Hey, now
What's that you're talking about

Your cup runneth over and out
One too many cups around
And you're a mess
You wanna confess

I see you wanna be so close to the edge
And you're running
You're running
You're running without your feet

I wish there was something
So profound that I could say
You know it's bad for you
But you still want to do it anyway
And you go to him like a mosquito to skin

I see you wanna be so close to the edge
And you're running
You're running
You're running without your feet
