First Encounters
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.
First encounters, and traces of them
Are all that remain of me, all the remains
Avoiding the overspill
I try to refrain, but still
It always comes back
It always comes back
And I will shiver, I will shake
Upon the edge of where I start to break down
And I will teeter on the brink of it
Becoming a part of me now
Conditioned for all of this
As far as it goes
Again, I will hold onto this
And again, I will fall
Breaking my steps, again
Fall around in the dark, again
It's easier to see when there's nothing to see
And I will shiver, I will shake
Upon the edge of where I start to break down
And I will teeter on the brink of it
Becoming a part of me now
Ah-ah-oooh, ah-ah-oooh
Ah-ah-oooh, ah-ah-oooh
And I will shiver, I will shake (ah-ah-ooh)
Upon the edge of where I start to break down (ah-ah-oooh)
And I will teeter on the brink of it (ah-ah-oooh)
Becoming a part of me now (ah-ah-oooh)
Ah-ah-oooh, ah-ah-oooh
Ah-ah-oooh, ah-ah-oooh
And I will shiver, I will shake (ah-ah-ooh)
Upon the edge of where I start to break down (ah-ah-oooh)
And I will teeter on the brink of it (ah-ah-oooh)
Becoming a part of me now (ah-ah-oooh)
(Ah-ah-oooh)
