[Intro] [Verse 1] The floorboards stopped their creaking hours ago I’ve left the spirits to flicker in the hall There’s a silence here that I’ve begun to know The kind that comes before the curtain falls I packed the memories in a heavy crate But realized they’re way too much to carry So I leave the keys right by the garden gate Beside the versions of me I had to bury. [Pre-Chorus] The map ends here, the ink runs dry Beneath a vast and hollowed-out sky My heels are hanging off the shelf Of everything I thought I knew about myself. [Chorus] And I’m standing on the edge of my life Looking into the Great Unknown Where the dark and the daybreak collide And I’ve never felt so beautifully alone It’s a long way down, and a long way across I’m counting the gain while I’m mourning the loss At the edge of my life I’m stepping off... I’m stepping off. [Verse 2] The wind is whispering a different name A sound I haven't learned to answer to The scenery behind me stays the same But every shade of gray is turning blue I used to fear the falling, the sudden drop The way the world just disappears from view But when you reach the place the fences stop You realize the sky was waiting there for you. [Pre-Chorus] The map ends here, the ink runs dry I’m looking forward, I’m not asking why My heels are hanging off the shelf It's nice to finally meet my true self. [Chorus] And I’m standing on the edge of my life Looking into the Great Unknown Where the dark and the daybreak collide And I’ve never felt so beautifully alone It’s a long way down, and a long way across I’m counting the gain while I’m mourning the loss At the edge of my life I’m stepping off. Yeah! I'm finally stepping off! [Bridge] It’s not an end, it’s a threshold It’s not a break, it’s a bend I’m shedding the skin of the stories I’ve told To see where the gravity ends! To see where the gravity ends! [Guitar Solo] [Chorus] Yeah, I’m standing on the edge of my life Looking into the Great Unknown Where the dark and the daybreak collide And I’ve never felt so beautifully alone It’s a long way down, and a long way across I’m counting the gain while I’m mourning the loss At the edge of my life I’m stepping off... Yeah, yeah, I’m stepping off! [Outro] The air is thin... The view is wide... I’ve got nothing left to hide. At the edge of my life... I’m not falling. I’m flying. Yeah! I'm flying!
