I don't remember last night but they took my picture
There was a car in the ocean off of Suicide Bridge
The heart collector had his hands on me

At the edge of the world looking up

I heard what you couldn't say to me
You gave it away when you said it to her
You're a secret that I tell myself

Running through a thousand lives
Hoping there's one on the other side

At the edge of the world looking up

You're so afraid of what you want that you don't want it anymore
You wrote you message on my back and left but time will pull us to the floor

I don't know when I came to and remembered your fingers
I went back to the house but it was a vacant lot
This matchbook you wrote on is all I've got

I'm not falling going down
Dreaming and singing without a sound

At the edge of the world looking up.
