On The Brink - Peter Bjorn & John

On the brink of my eternity

The well I almost fall into

I’ve been thinking 'bout what’s called destiny

And the things you never do

I’ve been trying hard

Yes, I’ve been trying hard

I’ve been trying hard

To do them too

Like the things you never told me then

Did you try too hard to please?

Did you ask yourself, what if and when?

Did it fly off in the breeze?

I’ve been trying hard

Yes, I’ve been trying hard

I’ve been trying hard

To catch those dreams

These things

Matters more than we know

And these dreams

Sends us to the stars

And this life

Is the only one

And your love

Is my guide

In the hour of our confession

In the times we fear the most

We get judged beyond dimension

For our silly little falls

But I’ve been trying hard

Yes, I’ve been trying hard

I’ve been trying hard

To make it right

These things

Matters more than we know

And these dreams

Sends us to the stars

And this life

Is the only one

And your love

Is my guide

We all carry guilt and burdens

So our backs get crooked and bent

And we rarely never mention

The forgiveness heaven-sent

I’ve been trying hard

Yes, I’ve been trying hard

I’ve been trying hard

To let it in

I’ve been trying hard

Yes, I’ve been trying hard

I’ve been trying hard

To let it in

Let it in

Let it in
