At the edge of us

AT THE EDGE OF US

Verse 1

We didn’t fall like summer rain

We took our time getting here

Started somewhere between friendship

And conversations after years

Then somewhere in those ordinary days

You started feeling like home

And every minute I got with you

Just made me want one more

We learned each other’s silence

Every scar and every dream

Till I couldn’t tell where you ended

Or where you started becoming me

Chorus

Now we’re standing at the edge of us

Holding something neither wants to lose

God, I know this love is real

That’s what makes it hard to choose

If this was some other lifetime

Maybe there’d be nothing in our way

We’d just reach out and take forever

Without wondering who would pay

Loving you has never scared me

It’s the easiest thing I do

I’m just scared of waking up someday

And learning how to live without you

Verse 2

You became the one I’d fight for

The one I’d choose through anything

The first person who could look at me

And see what others didn’t see

You saw something worth believing in

When I couldn’t see it myself

Never asked me to be somebody different

Never needed something else

You showed me love could feel like peace

Not something I had to earn

And maybe that’s why losing this

Is the thing that hurts the worst

Chorus

’Cause we’re standing at the edge of us

Holding something neither wants to lose

God, I know this love is real

That’s what makes it hard to choose

If this was some other lifetime

Maybe there’d be nothing in our way

We’d just reach out and take forever

Without wondering who would pay

Loving you has never scared me

It’s the safest thing I knew

I’m just scared of waking up someday

And learning how to live without you

Bridge

And lately there’s a voice inside my head

Building walls that weren’t there before

Turning certainty into questions

Putting locks on open doors

Is it caution?

Is it fear?

Or my heart trying to run

Before somebody gets hurt

By what we’ve become?

’Cause there ain’t a road from here

Where nobody loses something

And I hate that something this beautiful

Could ever come down to choosing

Breakdown

I’m not scared of losing the business

Or the friendship we’ve always known

I know somehow we’d keep going

Find a way to carry on

But I’m terrified of losing this—

Your hands, your kiss, your touch

The way you look into my eyes

Like somehow I’m enough

You made me believe I’m worth loving

Without proving what I’m worth

And I don’t know how I’m supposed to forget

The man who taught me that first

Final Chorus

So here we are at the edge of us

And I don’t know which way to move

One road might mean losing everything

The other might mean losing you

And if there was another lifetime

I swear I’d find you anyway

I’d choose your arms, I’d choose this love

I’d choose you every single day

No, loving you has never scared me

You’re the closest thing to peace I’ve known

It’s imagining a life without this love

That makes me scared to let you go

Outro

Maybe that’s the hardest part of us—

There’s nothing left to pro
