[Verse 1]
You can't always have a good time, oh, how we tried, oh, how we tried
We were pissing in the river all of our lives, all of our lives
Counting the seconds from the lightning to the thunder
And I guess we should get out of the water, out of the water

[Chorus]
I would like to live closer to the edge
Turn our backs on the darkness

[Verse 2]
I don't want to sing about death no more
Though we'll go there one day and we've been there before
While the daylight, it still warms our skulls
And our words, they fall like waterfalls

[Chorus]
I would like to live closer to the edge
Turn our backs on the darkness

[Outro]
And there was too much colour
And too much light
Too much Phil Collins
In the air tonight
You keep me up at night
With all your sleeptalking, but that's alright
You keep me more alive
We're more than colours
We're more than light, light
