On the Edge of Dreaming

And I'm on the edge of dreaming As light creeps through the leaves Past a portrait of you and me Catching dust of a different air One that's waiting for a change And holds us while the world goes by As I fall in love with your cheeks So safe and so serene I'm weighing up the odds I push against my way A life of two lives Is this really what it feels like to let go Of moral weight? So here I stand on broken feet Just making my ends meet For the dreams of a time For the dreams of a place That are yet to exist But have taken up the space So here I am from prison to palace Like Joseph laid to waste I don't need a God; just belief That the weight will be lifted And make a change out of me But can't you understand What it means to make a man? They won't move around it And you just can't understand it So I know That on the edge of dreaming's where I'll stay And I keep rubbing my eyes Pinching harder on my side As the feeling drifts away From inertia to pain To remind myself I can't change the way I'm going Just like a dying flame So I'm weighing up the odds And I push against my way They can't move around it I can't bear to understand it So I know That on the edge of dreaming's where I'll stay
