Over the Edge
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 could give it all if you'd take me
(I could give it all if you'd take me)
To when I was a kid in the backseat
Driven down a road in the country
(Far away, far away, far away)
I'd want to grow
So I could take a ride in the front seat
(Take a ride in the front seat)
Never knew that time would escape me
(Never knew that time would escape me)
I could give it all just to break free
I want to know, If I could find the door and the jail key
(Far away, far away, far away)
Then I could grow
Outside of the walls that contain me
That's why
Right now, I gotta go
Driving so fast yеt I'm moving so slow
Too late I'm getting old
Cliffsides coming I'll bе driving over the edge
I want to be somebody
(Be somebody, be somebody, be somebody)
I want to hold someone
When I grow, when I'm free
When the scars that fill my body prove that I'm me
In my withdrawal, when I'm weak at my knees
(Far away, far away, far away)
If wise I'll know, that probably I'll be fine
You hear it all the time
(Oooh-oh-oh)
(Oooh-oh-oh)
Think of what you took for granted
Think of what you got that you wanted
Cause when it goes and you can't replace it
You know it's precious, not to waste it
Be grateful, you gotta be grateful
That's why
Right now, I gotta go
Driving so fast yet I'm moving so slow
Too late I'm getting old
Cliffsides coming I'll be driving over the edge
I want to be somebody
I want to hold someone
When I grow, when I'm free
When the scars that fill my body prove that I'm me
In my withdrawal, when I'm weak at my knees
If wise I'll know, probably I'll be fine
You hear it all the time
How life's been moving fast
That it's just passing by
Running red's and beaming bright
Time don't give a damn
If we're broken, fading white
I never knew that life could move so fast
That's why
Right now, I gotta go
Driving so fast yet I'm moving so slow
Too late I'm getting old
Cliffsides coming I'll be driving over the edge
I want to hold someone
I want to be somebody
