Take the Edge off

I get home and it's already dark

Kick my shoes off, leave them in the hall

It's been freezing in this house since the day that you flew south

Now I'm shivering just trying to sweat you out

As cliché as it seems, I'm strung out on a dream

It's taking all my strength to keep me clean

Take the edge off, take the edge off

I just need a little taste to get me through the night

Take the edge off, take the edge off

Lord knows what I'd give away to feel you one more time

I know by now for certain you've moved on

Maybe you were someone else's all along

Slippin' off your dress, lay your head against his chest

While I'm left here in the arms of my regret

The ceiling spins and shakes and still I cannot escape

There's only one thing that can dull this pain

Take the edge off, take the edge off

I just need a little taste to get me through the night

Take the edge off, take the edge off

Lord knows what I'd give away to feel you one more time

I'm passing days watching cars

The sun goes down, their headlights flicker on

Then in the dark, counting stars I wish upon

Take the edge off, take the edge off

I just need a little taste to get me through the night

Take the edge off, take the edge off

Lord knows what I'd give away to feel you one more time
