"The Edge" lyrics

"The Edge"

I used to wander to the edge and look down
I used to pile up promises then leave town
You should have heard my best excuses
So profound and so untrue
But now I wake up next to you

Each time I slip feels like the world conspires
To underline my most impure desires
Thought all of those who swear by love
They were mental through and through
But now I wake up next to you

And the nights are still as long as they ever were
All the things that could go wrong, well they still occur
But when the violent sun breaks the morning air
It will find me there, next to you

I had to lose myself for years to find this
Mistook the cruelty and abuse for kindness
Didn't know yet what to keep zipped shut
My own blindness stole the view
But now I wake up next to you

And the nights are still as long as they ever were
All the things that could go wrong, well they still occur
But when the violent sun breaks the morning air
It will find me there, next to you

Where did it all go right?
When did it all go right?
When did it all go right?
Where did it all go right?

I used to wander to the edge and look down
I used to pile up promises then leave town
You should have heard my best excuses
So profound and so untrue
But now I wake up next to you

Where did it all go right?
I'll always walk back from the edge
Find a way to you
Where did it all go right?
I'll always walk back from the edge
Find a way to get to you
Where did it all go right?
I'll always walk back from the edge
Find a way to you
Where did it all go right?
I'll always walk back from the edge
Find a way to get to you
