dance along the edge

sometimes we laugh like children

go running hand in hand. i never felt like this before

i never will again

sometimes we cry like babies

i hold you to my heart. i just can't stand to see you sad

it tears me all apart

and we're so afraid and it's such a shame

there is no reason we should doubt it. and the things we want to say we've never said!

and we look away and it's all okay and

never really talk about it

it's a shame the way we dance along the edge

dance along the edge. dance along the edge. we always seem so careful

we're always so unsure. our past mistakes they make us shaky

eyes on the door. when do we stop searching

for what we're searching for?

then when it comes we question love and try for more!

and we're happy here

but we live in fear

we've seen a lot of temples crumble. some of flesh and blood from love under glass. will we come undone? will we turn and run?

and will we know it when we find it?

it's a game the way we dance along the edge. dance along the edge. dance along the edge. and we'll walk the line and we'll do our time

for just as long as we've been given

and pretend that we don't hear the things they've said. can we promise love

is it all too much

and do our old souls still believe it?

it's insane the way we dance along the edge. dance along the edge. dance along the edge. dance along the edge.
