Some perspective

from A View That Won't Change by Andrew V Phillips

/

lyrics

If there’s one thing I know from here, it’s hard to be close
When we’re both standing on a line
Just the touch of our toes
It wavers and moves with each twist we make
Where there’s an edge on both sides we try to share our lives

Climbing in a new line, no one mentioned to me
That it’s not my place to be the first to this peak
Tried to inspire you with something too delicate
Leaning beyond my edge would make us meet

A misguided gesture, it turned and cut me down
If I speak up, I’m frozen

Up against an edge where I can almost feel the air
Now I’ve suppressed any doubt, I know this is about
The clarity I feel for the things closest to me
When I’m finely balanced
When I know you’re there

Where we fail to climb
Cut through our own line
Real life lies outside
Safer not to face the light
