Lyrics
The Precipice
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I wish I could play the violin
I'd play 'till tears rolled down your cheek and chin
And if you sang along
We could write the saddest song
Sometimes I indulge my every whim
And piece-by-piece, I build the cell I'm in
But I only stay here long
Enough to write the saddest song
I dreamt I stood on a hill that I wished was a mountain
To look back on all my accomplishments
Well, they must have been small,
Because I coudn't seem to find them
So I took a leap off of the precipice
I wish I could play piano well
I'd hit the keys that make your spirit swell
And if you sang along
We could write the saddest song
I dreamt I stood on a hill that I wished was a mountain
To look back on all my accomplishments
Well, they must have been small,
Because I coudn't seem to find them
So I took a leap off of the precipice
Whatever the cost
Whether it works out or not
Whatever the cost
Whether it works out or not
I'll follow you
I'll follow you with my heart
I dreamt I stood on a hill that I wished was a mountain
To look back on all my accomplishments
Well, they must have been small,
Because I coudn't seem to find them
So I took a leap off of the precipice
