Words & Music by Paul Brandt

I'd rather stand on the edge of a cliff

And hang my toes over a bit

And then jump when they dare me

Even if it scares me and I get hurt

I'd rather build my wings on the way down

Do my best not to fall to the ground

And than laugh at my mistakes

'cause there only lessons I'll learn

Chorus:

I'd rather burn with desire deep in my soul

And love like a fire that's out of control, and laugh and dance and fall

And chance and kiss

I'd rather live my whole life

With a sense of abandon

Squeeze every drop out

No matter what happens

And not wonder what I've missed

I'd rather risk

Well I guess I could just play it safe

And forget about love, hope and faith

With my eye on the shore line

Keeping my boat tied and staying home

Ohhh but I'll never discover new land

By keeping my feet on the sand

No I'd rather set sail

And get carried away by the storm

Chorus:

I'd rather burn with desire deep in my soul

And love like a fire that's out of control, and laugh and dance and fall

And chance and kiss

I'd rather live my whole life

With a sense of abandon

Squeeze every drop out

No matter what happens

And not wonder what I've missed

I'd rather risk

I would rather risk

I'd rather burn with desire deep in my soul

And love like a fire that's out of control

I'd live my whole life

With a sense of abandon

Squeeze every drop out

No matter what happens

And not wonder what I've missed

Oh I just can't resist

The chance to risk

Ohhh live, and love and laugh and dance and fall and chance and kiss
