On the Edge Lyrics from Jonathan Byrd

It's quiet. We're stranded by a handful of rain. I just want to sleep but I can't find a place. You say, "Turn the music off."Your lover's on the phone,on the edge all alone.

Blindfolded, you're trying to touch love's ghost.It whispers. You hear it. The spirit's so close. The janitor walks by and talks to the trash. His conscience is clear. His world is a mirror. You can't be alone for fearof your reflection all aroundon the edge looking down.

So little, so serious, delirious you. He loves you and lo, he loves loneliness too. What's that? He can't hear you. You're breaking up again. He's down in a tunnel and he can't see the end. The battery is dead.
The needle's in the red.
He would have texted insteadbut there's no place to park
on the edge in the dark.

Forever is murder, I heard you say so. God as her witness, Eve wants to know:
What's the statute of limitations on original sin?She's evicted and naked in the airport again.
Lot's wife should have stayed.
She just turned around to wave
and the agent at the gatesaid, "Your exodus has been delayed."
God's harder on girls.
God's harder on girls
on the edge of the world.

It's ending. You're daring to care for him.I wish I had what you had back then. Now he's certain it's terminal but he won't say when.
He grabs on to you while you're out on a limb.
You hang on the line.
You say it's going to be fine,
when what's really on your mind
is how he's going to drag you off this time
and as you both fall he'll cry,
"Can't you see what I'm going through,
on the edge over you?"
