Lyrics
Alive on the edge of a beautiful failure
Lifting my head from a mind numbning torture
For who?
Did I do it for you?
Alive in the shadows of giants and sinners
I don't even feel like a loser or winner like you
What did I do?
Chorus:
I feel like a river that's running astray
Lord knows where I'll be a year from today
It's not an etching of words set in stone
But I'm hanging in there with much thicker rope
Some are forgotten and some are just rotten
And some have a likeness to me
That is not very clear
Will I see them next year?
And when we tune in
We'll have a reunion
With all or our senses
And all of our lost sorcery
While the sun shines for free
Chorus:
Instrumental V&C
I wanted to borrow your life for a minute
To know your surroundings
And to see what was in it for me
Things I'll never see
So why don't you borrow my head for a minute
To know how I feel when I'm feeling low
Then you will see
I'm not always so "free"
Chorus:
