I can't get my feet up off the edge I kinda like the little rush you get When you're standing close to death Like when you're driving me crazy Hold on as we crash into the earth A bit of pain will help us suffer when you're hurt For real 'cause you were driving me crazy Bite your lips, your word's a robbery Do you grin inside, you're killing me All along we talked of forever I kinda think that we won't get better It's the longest start, but the end is not too far away Did you know, I'm here to stay We'll stagger home after midnight Sleep arm-in-arm in the stairwell We'll fall apart on the weekend These nights go on and on and on I can't keep your voice out of my head All I hear are the many echoes of The darkest words you said And it's driving me crazy I can't find the best in all of this But I'm always looking out for you 'Cause you're the one I miss And it's driving me crazy Bite your lips, your word's a robbery Do you grin inside, you're killing me All along we talked of forever I kinda think that we won't get better It's the longest start, but the end's not too far away Did you know, I'm here to stay We'll stagger home after midnight Sleep arm-in-arm in the stairwell We'll fall apart on the weekend These nights go on and on and on We'll stagger home after midnight Sleep arm-in-arm in the stairwell We'll fall apart on the weekend These nights go on and on and on We'll stagger home after midnight Sleep arm-in-arm in the stairwell We'll fall apart on the weekend These nights go on and on and on We'll stagger home after midnight Sleep arm-in-arm in the stairwell We'll fall apart on the weekend These nights go on and on and on
