I used to wander to the edge and look down
I used to pile up promises then leave town
You should have heard my best excuses
So profound, and so untrue
But now I wake up next to you
Each time I sleep feels like the world expires
To underline my most impure desires
Thought all of those who swear by love
They were meant to trough and trough
But now I wake up next to you
And the nights are still as long as they ever were
All the things that could go wrong, there they still occur
But where the violet sun breaks the morning air
It will find me there, next to you
I had to lose myself for years to find this
Mistook the cruelty and abuse for kindness
Didn't know yet walked to keep things shaft
My own blindness tore all the view
But now I wake up next to you
And the nights are still as long as they ever were
All the things that could go wrong, they could still occur
But when the violet sun breaks the morning air
It will find me there, next to you
(When did it all go right x4)
I used to wander to the edge and look down
I used to pile up promises then leave town
You should have heard my best excuses
So profound, and so untrue
But now I wake up next to you
(When did it all go right)
I'll always fall back from the edge and find a way to you
(When did it all go right)
I'll always fall back from the edge and find a way to get you
(When did it all go right)
I'll always fall back from the edge and find a way to get you.
