Edges Lyrics by Nolan Patton

Yet Well I Know

2013

I have seen the edges of your eyes light up
Staring at the rooftop heights
I have seen the edges of your eyes light up tonight

Telling me where your family comes from
And where all their mothers came from too
I know all about the shores that they sailed from
I don’t know much about you

The questions that you ask tell the story
Of someone who has believed too many lies
You ask me for the reason I am searching
But I know that I’ll never get this right

I’ve come to tell your dreams not to wait here
I’ve come to tell my brothers not see
That what I am becoming is much different
Than what they want me to be

It’s so hard to tell the world your lonely
I’ve never been one to say goodbye
I’d love to hear more about your family
And we can take one last walk tonight

We will stop beside the edges of the water
We’ll look upon the morning as it comes
We will leave as something is beginning
Yet well I know you will soon be gone

You have picked up every little piece of
The world you once thought was whole
And you’re staring out past the horizon
With your arms so full

If you leave now you can make it past the city
Before the workers and their stop go tires
Line the highway winding straight up to the buildings
With indifference in the edges of their eyes

You have picked up every little piece of
The world you once thought was whole
Now you’re in traffic at the edge of the city
With your arms so full
