Edge of the World

Lyrics

[HENRY] Everything about this world feels wrong We're not equipped to know what's going on I always felt like I grew up on a different planet On one of those stars up above A map I used to plan it All my life All my lies There's too many people crowded in the street An island, once mountainous, now concrete I thought it was supposed to be different Everyone thinks they're different But we still have to go on with our lives To survive And it feels like we might fall off any minute It feels like we are living on a ledge It feels like we might fall off any minute So why delay? Do the thing you couldn't do yesterday Living on the edge of the world Living on the edge There are infinite versions of a life Where you come from, where you go Who you meet and what you like We don't all get to chose the versions we are given But with you, that's not true We got it right We're so alike [HENRY & BEN] And it feels like we might fall off any minute It feels like we are hanging on a ledge It feels we might fall off any minute [HENRY] But look around At this different planet we've found [HENRY & BEN] We're living on the edge of the world We're living on the edge [HENRY, BEN, HENRY & BEN] You're the one thing I'm proud of Didn't you love her? I tried to give you all the love you need Would she have loved me? And we study rocks and things Are you listening? And the magic that nature brings Are you listening? The way it heals what stings Are you? Until we're healed we sing Why did you take me to Alaska For the ice and the trees, for the sky and the breeze Where you grew up so well so free from those memories Just you son, you and me You son, you and me Living on the edge of the world Living on the edge [HENRY] Why don't we write a new song together Can't we make up a different one to sing? I'm sick of my old stories, the way they cling to my hair If you aren't sick of yours, well then We can start from there Or anywhere And it feels like we might fall off any minute Feels like I could lose you in the storm It feels we are both the same And both so very different But I promised her I'd always keep you warm Just me and you Isn't that true? Isn't that true? Isn't that true?
