Edge of Yesterday Lyrics

Last survivors, clinging to a frosted tree

Fiery rivals, holding on for brevity

Kinda made me think of how it used to be

Almost free

I couldn't contain all the poetry inside my heart

When I was young and life was just about to start

But the hammer never fell, the needle never dropped

And I can't tell if I'm on the bottom or the top

Did my dreams come true, or am I staring at a ghost?

Did they change into something new, or hop a train for the coast?

On the edge of something great

So I'll just hurry up and wait

Waiting anxiously for more than just a taste

And sink my teeth into life

I'm so tired of fighting that fight

Trying everything but nothing seems to turn out right

Tried doing nothing, and nothing's fine with me

If working hard paid off, I'd be right where I want to be

On the edge of something great

So I'll just hurry up and wait

For the moment where it all falls into place

And I'm soaring through the sky

On the edge of yesterday

Getting closer with each step I take

But did I get here a little too late?

Did my chances come and go?

So I'll just sit here with all my self-doubt

And convince myself I've figured it out

There's so many things I've learned to do without

That I don't want them anymore

Do I miss days of fire and nights of ice?

Living on no man's good advice

If I lived again, I'd maybe think twice

Just to have the dream, is it worth its sacrifice?
