Edge of Us

[Verse 1]
You say “I’m home”
I check your eyes
Searching for goodbye
In every blink
You leave a glass
On the sink
My brain goes
“She hates you”
Before I even think
[Chorus]
Love on the edge of us
One touch feels like too much
Then not enough
Not enough
I’m scared you’ll leave
So I push you first
Hold you close till my chest hurts
Then say things that make it worse
Can you love me
On the edge of us?
[Verse 2]
We’re eating fries
You crack a joke
I laugh too loud
Then I choke
’Cause part of me’s sure
You’re getting bored
And the other part’s begging
“Please don’t go”
[Chorus]
Love on the edge of us
One touch feels like too much
Then not enough
Not enough
I’m scared you’ll leave
So I push you first
Hold you close till my chest hurts
Then say things that make it worse
Can you love me
On the edge of us?
[Bridge]
I split you into saint or threat
Halo
Horns
And cigarettes
You say
“I’m here
I’m not a test”
I’m trying to believe you
I’m sorry for the sudden storms
For turning warm into a war
For every time you reach your arms
And I still ask
“Who are you?”
[Chorus]
Love on the edge of us
One touch feels like too much
Then not enough
Not enough
I’m scared you’ll leave
So I push you first
Hold you close till my chest hurts
Then say things that make it worse
If I show you every scar and cut
Every guess
Every messed-up trust
Can you love me
On the edge of us?

Intimate alt-pop ballad over moody electric piano and warm sub-bass, male vocals. Soft verse with close-mic whisper tone, drums bloom in the chorus with wide stereo guitars and airy pads. Hook lifts with stacked harmonies and a few raw, almost-spoken lines. Final chorus pulls instruments back for one bar, then slams back in for an emotional peak.
