Standing On The Edge - Lyrics by Screaming Trees


Lyrics

Standing by myself on the sidewalk
Nothing in this world could make me talk
I'm nailed to this floor where there is no air
Alone i see myself and stare
Locked inside this world you gave me
It's lonely here through the smoke i can't see clear

And i know all the ways and i'll try
And i've seen all the places i get eyed
If i bear myself in the yard
Would the end of the day always seem so hard

Wait for the world to turn around
Then i won't go up or down
Gentle winds must sometimes sit
The face that looks on in my mirror

And i know all the ways and i can try
And i've seen all the places where i hide
If i bear myself out in the yard
Would the end of the day always be so hard

Standing on the edge of the wall
Sometimes i get too close and i fall, yeah

And i know all the ways and i can try
And i've seen all the places where i hide
If i bear myself in the yard
Would the end of the day always be so hard

Well all the nights last a thousand years
When you're in a time that feels so near
I'll just say you were the word i found
And then i won't go up or down
And i know all the ways and i can try
And i've seen all the places where i hide
If i bear myself in the yard
Would the end of the day always be so hard
Standing on the edge of the wall
Sometimes i look down and i fall, yeah

Just standing on the edge of the wall
I always go to far and i fall, yeah
