Cliffside Lyrics by Memorize the Dictionary

The Amazingly Contorted One-Man Band

2019

[Verse 1]
What’s this
What’s this
What’s this that I’m hearing
It’s the sound of all the safe things crumbling
The sound of my heart thumping
Up and out of me
What’s this
What’s this
What’s this that I’m feeling
It’s a wave of cold apprehension
A terrifying weight of tension
Coursing through my veins

[Chorus 1]
Lay your head on my shoulder
Smile wide and call me over
Let me know that I belong
If only for a moment
Have a carefree, happy gaze
While counting nights and counting days
Listening to the sound of starlight, unafraid

[Verse 2]
I woke up
I woke up
I fell out of the nest
I stood up and felt the sun
Listen
Can you listen
Listen to the weight that’s lifted
Off my chest into the air
Rhythm transferred from my heart
To yours and back again

[Chorus 2]
It’s like this to be alive
It’s like this to be alive
The idea that everything is fleeting
Teetering on the cliffside, thinking
This fall is too steep
It’s like this to be alive
It’s like this to be alive
The idea that you’re bound to stumble
Leaving everything to crumble
Down into the dark
It’s like this to be alive
It’s like this to be alive
You can lose it all and end up falling
Lose your legs and end up crawling
Down into the night

[Outro]
And you’re teetering on the cliffside anyway
You’re teetering on the cliffside anyway
