i feel this burden slipping away now
a momentary lapse in all the hate + pain
you've kept me holding on so long
i want to break this darkness down

bridge:
on the edge
a cooling rush to calm
on the edge
a cooling rush to burn this world down

chorus:
i just need to walk a little more
i just need to sleep another nite
sometimes you need to leave to feel that you should stay

when i start to breathe i close my eyes
and think of other ways to sleep in this bed
caught between today + tonite,
some stranger sense will come my way

bridge

chorus

i just need to forget it all
i need to think of other things today
i just need to forget it all
to keep my mind at bay (to live another way)

afterwards i'll think of you
and everything you've done
and put this off another nite
cos i don't want to lose it all
i know it's hard for you + me to end up like we are
but i'll put this off another nite to think of you some more

on the edge, on the edge
on the edge, on the edge

chorus

i just need to forget it all
i need to think of other things today
i just need to forget it all
to keep my mind at bay (to live another way)
