People on the precipice
Before they dive, will blow a kiss
We're so close now that we can't miss
We've got to make some sense of this
We know it's all so overplayed
Pray for a prettier parade
A dream's a dream even when it's faded
We won't know even when we've made it
Tell me that I'm wrong
I'm taking my time, I apologize if I'm taking too long
Every little child wants to see the sky
They keep on climbing higher
Learn to fly
I never quite know what to say
I close my eyes and go away
Maybe it's not just a mistake
That makes us like we are today
We wait for heroes to arise
As people rise up in love and pride
And some are not quite cut to size
But we're all telling ourselves lies.
Stronger by ourselves
We'd find some relief if we'd see that we're not doing well
As I stare into the abyss
I find it's time, I've arrived at the precipice
