Lyrics
[verse]
Grew up walking through a broken street
Counting sirens like a heartbeat
Every corner had a different fear
Every year felt like my final year
[chorus]
Living like it's the edge of paradise
Shadows in the streetlight, cold as ice
Tell me who's gonna save a soul like mine
Living on the edge, running out of time
[verse]
Momma prayed for me on bended knee
Hoped that I'd escape what I could see
But the block don't let you walk away that clean
Every dream gets caught up in between
[chorus]
Living like it's the edge of paradise
Shadows in the streetlight, cold as ice
Tell me who's gonna save a soul like mine
Living on the edge, running out of time
[bridge]
I ain't looking for your sympathy
Just a chance to be what I could be
Somewhere past the sirens and the pain
There's a life I'm fighting to reclaim
[chorus]
Living like it's the edge of paradise
Shadows in the streetlight, cold as ice
Tell me who's gonna save a soul like mine
Living on the edge, running out of time
