Sitting in the backseat 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
Doom 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 burned
Hurts when we're apart,
hurts when we're together
Pleasure with the pain won't last forever Close to the edge,
oh,
what do we do?
I pushed myself away,
away from you Using words as weapons and loving with deception
Prisoners of our own fate
It was cruelly deep, but now we're only left
with shame Tell me why we love so fearlessly,
overbearing
There's no one else that's left to
blame What's the use in holding on?
What could it be, say?
But 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 burned
Hurts when we're apart,
hurts when we're together
Pleasure with the pain won't last forever Close to the edge,
oh,
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,
how will we bear?
Close to the edge,
oh,
we're close to the edge,
oh
Now we're up in flames,
time to hit the brakes Losing battery in this endless game
We're close to the edge, oh, what do we do?
I push myself away,
away from you I push myself away,
away from you
Sitting in the backseat of a yellow taxi Watching as you pass my way
Memories come flooding from a million miles away
