On The Edge

You pack your case and you're leaving
You live your life in a different place
So many miles in between us
Give anything just to see your face
When you come home i'll be waiting
Imagination's gonna pull me through
Yeah yeah
I will send you
All my love
In a postcard
All my love
I spend my time thinkin' of you
My nights and days turned into grey
I can't hold moments together
Winter

Sixteen going on seventeen
But she thinks that she's twenty-one
Doing things she ain't done before
Got her hands on a loaded gun
Talking 'bout
Sweet seventeen
Got a mouthful of sticky stuff
Blowing bubbles in the parking lot
She's in love with a film star
So she gives it everything she's got
Her daddy tells her she's crazy
And her momma says
Please slow down
See her out on the dance floor
She's gonna wind up in the lost and found
I'm talking about
(fifteen sixteen seventeen)
Sweet seventeen
(fifteen sixteen seventeen)
Sweet seventeen
I wouldn't say she's easy
But she's the kinda girl that won't say no
She's always getting into trouble
Though she's only got a year to go
She's got a record with the local sherriff
And a reputation coast to coast
(fifteen sixteen seventeen)
Sweet seventeen
(fifteen sixteen seventeen)
Sweet seventeen
Sixteen going on seventeen
And she acts like she's twenty-one
Counting days til she's eighteen
She's rated expert
She's having fun
I'm talking 'bout
(fifteen sixteen seventeen)
Sweet seventeen
(fifteen sixteen seventeen)
Sweet seventeen
(fifteen sixteen seventeen)
You know what i mean
(fifteen sixteen seventeen)
Sweet seventeen

And it's bound to be alright

You still believe you love him
I still believe i'm right
You're lost and i can't find you
You're somewhere in the night
We've got nothing left to talk about
This time it's goodbye
But you can't hurt me anymore
I've no more chance to cry
Walk away
Gonna build our plans to start again
Walk away
We're gonna turn our backs on love
And walk away
Captivated by you
I'm reaching for your love
Living in your shadow
But that was not enough
You don't seem to care about
The reasons that i give
We'll go fall in love again
Survivors always live
Walk away
Gonna build our plans to start again
Walk away
We're gonna turn our backs on love
And walk away
I love you
I love you still
I am broken by your words
But i love you still
Walk away
Gonna build our plans to start again
Walk away
We're gonna turn our backs on love again
Walk away
Turn around
Turn and walk away
We're gonna turn our backs on love
Walk away
Turn around
Turn and walk away
We're gonna turn our backs on love
Walk away
Turn around
Turn and walk away
We're gonna turn our backs on love

I wrote the president
But i got no reply
He claims he tells the truth
He writes it in the sky
The taxman's at the door
Though he never seems polite
They've got me cornered
Cornered in the light
We could change that overnight
So goodnight to all the world
Sleep tight all you boys and girls
I spent some time at school
Livin' by the rules
They didn't like me much
Hypocrites and fools
Old men teach young men
To surrender to the law
The straight and narrow path
Leads to the same old door
Gonne kick it in like before
So goodnight to all the world
Sleep tight all you boys and girls
Heaven walks hand in hand with hell
Rock 'n roll is alive and well
Too many heroes looking dead upon their feet
It's time to raise the roof
And shout it in the street
It's time to take command
It's time to make a stand
Yeah
Don't need a uniform
To know which side i'm on
Don't need a set of rules
To know what's right or wrong
I've been an outcast
In your eyes and to the law
The right hand takes away
The left hand asks for more
But we all know the score
So goodnight to all the world
Sleep tight all you boys and girls
Heaven walks hand in hand with hell
Rock 'n roll is alive
Is alive and well
So goodnight to all the world
Sleep tight all the boys and girls
Heaven walks hand in hand with hell
Rock 'n roll is alive
Is alive and well
Goodnight
Goodnight
Goodnight
Goodnight
Goodnight
Goodnight
Goodnight
Goodnight
Gonna have some fun tonight
Everything's alright
Goodnight
Goodnight
Goodnight
Sleep tight
