Sitting in the back seat of a yellow taxi
Watching as you drive away
Every inch of you feels like a million miles away
It’s so hard to watch you leave, was it a mistake?
I wonder how we've gone astray
How we tried, but couldn’t keep the love we gave
Doomed from the beginning, was a beautiful disaster all along
Close to the edge
To the point of no return
Close to the edge
Of a bridge that we both have burnt
Hurts when we’re apart, hurts when we’re together, pleasure with the pain won’t last forever
Close to the edge, ooohh...
What do we do?
I push myself away… away from you
Using words as weapons
Loving with deception
Prisoners of our own fate
Wounds grow only deeper
Now we’re only left with shame
Tell me, why’d we love so fearlessly, overbend and break
There’s no one else that’s left to blame
What’s the use in holding on what couldn’t be saved
Let’s agree to disagree, that nothing ever comes that easily…
Close to the edge
To the point of no return
Close to the edge
Of a bridge that we both have burnt
Hurts when we’re apart, hurts when we’re together, pleasure with the pain won’t last forever
Close to the edge, ooohh...
What do we do?
And we’re caught up in this perfect storm
Blindly driving in the shadows, heading in the dark
We’re bound to fall apart
No we can’t escape this crash and burn
And if our world should crumble down in pieces
The pain and love we felt, I won’t regret
Close to the edge Ohhhhh…..
Close to the edge Ohhhhh…..
Now we’re up in flames, time to hit the brakes,
Bruised and battered in this endless game
Close to the edge, ooohh...
What do we do?
I push myself away… away from you
I push myself away… away from you
Sitting in the back seat of a yellow taxi
Watching as you pass my way
Memories come flooding, from a million miles away
