Living on the Edge
As I woke up this morning,
My head exploded without a warning.
It made me realize
that I am not that wise.
-Refrain-
All my life never taking chances.
Never asking for dances / always refusing dances.
Not taking the risks of life.
Never taking the dive.
Now while I'm standing on the ledge
I know I can be living on the edge.
While listening to all the voices,
I understand life's all about making choices.
I always thought well and long,
but now I see I was wrong!
-Refrain-
Now while listening to what you say,
I keep thinking of a new way.
Contemplating what to do,
all I want is you!
Have I been waiting too long?
Or am I still young?
Can I still have a date?
Or am I too late?
-Refrain-
Now I am standing on the roof,
thinking of my next move.
Down there is freedom
the ticket to the last prom.
There are two ways to go there,
All you say is 'where'?
'All it would get you is pain,
leaving a permanent stain'.
-refrain-
Now I am standing on the ledge,
I realise I don't need to live on the edge.
Just enjoy the chances you take
and take take risks to keep you awake.
Life's too special to waste,
there is so much left to taste.
So take the opportunities of life
and take your dive.
To be leaving the ledge
and be living on the edge.

Songtextje wat ik (probeerde) maak voor een oud schoolgenote...
Ik schaaf er nog steeds aan en commentaar/(opbouwende) kritiek is dus zeer gewild
